| Description: |
Designed for use by adult missioners and leaders of youth missioners, both as individuals and in small study groups, this book offers spiritual guidance for those engaged in short-term mission work. Jane Ives focuses on eight different themes: discovering how God is already at work in this area, adjusting to differences in culture and comfort, experiencing the hospitality of persons less wealthy than ourselves, demonstrating sensitivity to other people, building supportive team relationships, participating in indigenous worship, opening oneself to personal spiritual growth, and liberating time. She includes stories of her own mission experiences in the United States, Russia, Central America, South America, and Africa. This book also includes suggestions for worship, prayer, meditation, journaling, follow-up projects, and other means of connecting the acts of mission with the disciplines of the spiritual life. |
