Short-term missions teams meaning to do well often (unintentionally) create a culture of handout-missions that works against the kind of development that needs to happen in poverty-stricken areas. In this e-book, Ray (a full-time fellow in Haiti) explores the cultural and theological impacts of short-term missions, and offers solutions for how we can make sure we get it right.

At the time of this posting, the book manuscript is still in progress. So what kinds of questions would you hope Ray will answer in this piece? If you were planning a short-term mission trip to a place like Haiti, what would you want to know that would guide you in your team's preparation?

And let us know if you'd be interested in being a part of the editorial review. We'd love to get you a copy of the manuscript to check out and provide feedback that will shape what this book looks like.

At this stage, we're really only looking for feedback on the content, not proofreading or looking for grammar and typos.

If you have any thoughts on what would make this ebook better, then please share that feedback here, or email it to me at dan@bibledude.net.

And if you provide feedback, we'll even drop a big thank you with your name (and blog link) in the credits when we publish it!

Thanks!

Great! I can't wait to hear your thoughts! And I'm REALLY looking forward to making this e-book a strong piece... I think the message is MUCH needed today!
