Most short-term mission trips have to deal with a question – âAre we really making a difference?â Of course the smiles and hugs are genuine and the memories can be priceless, but if you want to guarantee that youâve made a long-term impact even long after the suitcases are unpacked, youâve got to get this Village to Village Curriculum! Â
The immediate effect is that you will bring blissful joy to some kids, you will surprise the socks off their parents to see that church can be fun, and you will create a lot of cross-cultural laughs, and letâs face it: that always breaks down language barriers. But the secret is that you will be creating a lasting philosophy, a culture of excellence, and a new way of thinking that will permeate a mission for generations. Teaching adults how to help kids participate more fully in Godâs word is story-changing. Encouraging some tired bible school teacher that thinks that he or she is off in some lonely forgotten corner of Godâs kingdom can bring eternal uplift. You can help unlock new possibilities of culturally-adapted simplicity through Barbâs material. May God do with your mission effort what he has done with ours!
