    Greetings!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    With Christmas break and back-to-school frenzy behind us, this is the time of year when many college-aged Christians (and others) are thinking about short-term mission trips. Summer trip application deadlines will arrive over the next few months. A colleague at Mission Data International, the ministry behind ShortTermMissions.com<\/a>, tells me that January is that site\u2019s busiest month for web traffic. (They also say that the preferred search term nowadays is \u201cmission trips\u201d not \u201cshort-term missions.\u201d Did you know?)<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re preparing for or promoting a mission trip of some kind, today\u2019s edition may point you to some tools you can use. See also our five-minute guide to choosing where to send your church\u2019s short-term teams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Blessings,
    \nMarti<\/strong><\/p>\n

    P.S.: Thanks for all the fan mail in December. We\u2019re encouraged to hear how much you value this resource! Year-end donations also covered nearly all the direct expenses we anticipate for 2017. Much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
