How to write stuff that sticks ... to MissionSupportrs.

Guest Blogger, Shelly Walker, has seen both sides of missions.  For 5 years, she was a Missionary in Africa. Before, during and after her time as a Missionary, she’s coordinated 13 short-term trips — 5 High School Trips to Mexico and 8 trips to Africa … oh, and she’s a big fan of MissionMakr.com!
