Looking for a brief but transformative short-term mission? I hear good reviews of the three-day Global Missions Journey program GFM offers to give churches, students, and small groups a taste of global missions in the international microcosm of Clarkston, Georgia.
But what if instead of heading to Clarkston, you hosted a cross-cultural learning experience along the same lines in your own city or town? GFM is now offering a digital kit of materials that you can customize as needed along with a bit of coaching to help you plan a day-long or two-day experience for your group.
“A basic implementation includes a teaching and activity, a tour at a local mosque or Hindu temple, a meal at an ethnic restaurant, and a closing time to pray about next steps,” they say. “Prioritizing exposure and learning over any ostensible quick fix, our hope is that these activities and teachings challenge each participant and plant seeds for long-term involvement the Great Commission.”

Speaking of digital resources, you might want to take a look at online learning workshops on various topics from World Relief or the Global Missions Toolbox, a curated collection of resources for pastors, mission committees, supporters, and other “senders.”
