i don't know about you, but i started two or three years ago to stop calling our youth short term mission trips.. "mission trips".. the idea that being missional is not a trip but a lifestyle. so we call them, or try to start the shift of calling them, mission experiences. it may be silly, but i like the idea of experiencing an intense life of missions for a short term where we experience relationship, work, outreach, pushing our own limits.. with the hope of developing a missional life.
one of the feature videos this week at work of the people is naming them "friendship trips".. i can like that too
