How Prepared are you?

Our long-term goal with our missionary host was:

There's an understanding we'll come back in 2 years, the trip seems mutually helpful

There is no host where we're going, we're opening new fields, and our team is made up of professionals and experts

Our on-going partnership includes mutual ownership, expectations and priorities

This was a one-time trip that provided great opportunity for team growth. Where next?

The missions trip was publicized and promoted by:

This trip was not for public consumption. Since participants are invited based on expertise, publicity is limited to general reporting

Several months before departure, our information meeting established timelines, costs, schedule for training and debriefing, ministry objectives and introduced the team leader

We held an information meeting before the trip, and publicity materials were made available

Word-of-mouth, casual announcements, sign-up sheet on info table

The purpose of our team application was:

The organization we worked with needed them

The application helped screen and give info to the leader when they interviewed the candidate

Team members share extensive international experience, newcomers are invited to join when there is a need for new expertise

We mostly used it as a way to gather names of interested team members

Informing family members of the trip was:

Asking family members to pray for the team, and giving them reminder cards or calendars

An unspoken responsibility of each team member

Creating emergency plans, informing of exit strategies, updating wills and next-of-kin info

The international travel experience of individuals on our team was…

Multiple experiences (4+) per team member

Approximately one experience per team member

On average, 2-3 experiences per team member

Less than one experience per team member
