Whenever someone disses short-term missions, I like to ask, “Have you ever met someone who went long term without first going short term?” One guy answered, “Yes, I did.” Cheeky little missionary! But that is the exception rather than the rule.<\/p>\n
A friend of Missions Catalyst, Holly, is working on a project and looking for statistics from mission agencies on what percentage of your short-term workers have become long-term workers. If anyone knows where these kinds of statistics can be found or if you would like to contribute your own agency’s statistics, contact Holly<\/a>.
