Your passport to learning how short-term missions can best serve Christ’s kingdom

Short-term mission trips are a great way to impact the kingdom. Yet they can lack effectiveness because of mistakes or naiveté on the part of participants. In this insightful 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. Winner of an Outreach Resource of the Year Award in global outreach from Outreach magazine, Serving with Eyes Wide Open is a must-have book for anyone doing a short-term mission or service project, whether domestic or overseas. Now updated throughout to reflect the changing mission field.

David Livermore realizes that short-term mission trips are a great way to impact the Kingdom of God, yet they can lack effectiveness because of mistakes or naiveté on the part of participants. In his desire to increase the effectiveness of short-term mission trips, he has written Serving with Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-Term Missions with Cultural Intelligence. This book will provide valuable insights for the Cross-Cultural Ministry class as they prepare to minister in Ecuador for two weeks in the Spring 2019 Semester. It will also lay a good foundation to prepare them for future cross-cultural ministry opportunities.
