Too often partnerships between the North and South can become lopsided, straining the relationship or harmful to the advance of the ministry. This track will explore some best practices for short term teams and other short term missions’ opportunities. Experienced speakers like Greg Seager, Tony Frietas, and Brian Heerwagen will provide thoughtful strategies for a more balanced and truly cooperative approach to short term work and how effective they can be to advance the God’s Kingdom.
