Résumé

Involvement in short-term missions experiences can be most beneficial when intentional personal and group preparation takes place. Learning about the people and history of the destination, identifying one's purpose in making the trip, asking God for direction and affirmation, meditation on Scripture, and prayer for oneself and for those who will be on the receiving end of care or ministry are wise. Willingness to take a servant's mindset and to give time and goods from a biblical perspective shows respect for those to be served.
