Short term missions have allowed me to see my everyday life at home from a mission mindset. It has also led me to a career in short term missions!
In South Africa I was brought into a school because of my teaching qualifications. In one short month I was able to build lasting relationships with those people that I still talk to 7+ years later. It made me realize firsthand that just because a mission trip may be short, you can still pour into people long after you leave. God’s cool!
