Mission Trip Preparation
Missions Dilemma by Steve Saint, whose father and four other missionaries were killed in 1956 in Ecuador.

Missions Dilemma by Steve Saint is the best material I have found to assist a local church in preparing a team for a short-term mission.
Do not go on another mission trip until you have watched this DVD wiith your team.
