Description

Short-term mission trips are great ways to impact the kingdom. Yet they can lack effectiveness because of mistakes or naivet� on the part of participants. In this insightful and timely book, David A. Livermore calls us to serve with our eyes open to global and cultural realities so we can become more effective cross-cultural ministers. Serving with Eyes Wide Open is a must-have book for anyone doing a short-term mission or service project, whether domestic or overseas. Foreword by Paul Borthwick.

If you are going on a mission trip, you must read this book. I used in my Intro to Missions course. The students loved it.

Read fall/winter of 2010 with a small group preparing to go on a short-term mission trip to Honduras with Orphan Helpers. Very good, but can make you question whether should be even going on a short-term mission trip. I would hesitate to recommend it to someone new to mission trips. Would recommend

it to any facilitator or leader of a missions team (short or long-term)! Will read again.
