    This is my first time listening to your podcast. I thought you did really well explaining short term missions trips. As a missionary kid, I saw this many times. I also wanted to input that I completely agree with you about the thousands of people getting saved. If a person is going down and just preaching and people are getting “saved”, that needs to be followed up with what the great commission states, which is to make disciples. If people are going down for a week and just preaching, how will they be able to disciple the ones they brought to the Lord. I think short term missions trip can be useful. My parents have had short term medical missions teams go down and it brings people out and it allows my parents to make new contacts to be able to study with them, but most of the time, the results are that people just want free medicine and they could care less about the things of God. They have also had teams go down and help build churches, but they didn’t do it by themselves, they worked alongside the nationals, which help build a bond of brotherly love as they were working alongside fellow believers. I love your idea of pastors coming down, just to encourage. My parents are completely on their own as far as missions work and they get discouraged. When a pastor or friends go down just to visit and see the ministry and talk to them, they get so uplifted from that. Thank you for sharing.
