Maximum Impact Short-Term Mission: The God-Commanded Repetitive Deployment of Swift, Temporary Non-Professional Missionaries

"Maximum Impact Short-Term Mission" helps church mission leaders and other organizers of mission trips who want to reduce their risks and improve their outcomes, to better understand what they can do mitigate potential problems while maximizing all areas of effectiveness for everyone involved. Its unique insight comes from three practitioners who bring 70+ collective years of first-hand experience working with thousands of short-termers in dozens of nations around God's world.
