2016 Mission Leaders Conference
Short-Term Mission

Stories are the way humans make sense of the world. For those who have been on an STM, we return and use stories to help others understand what we did and learned, and how we interacted with the people and culture. But are we sharing exactly what we think we’re sharing? Our stories create expectations for those who come after us, and can shape the experiences they have. This workshop will help practitioners think about STM stories, especially those we share with our home churches and small groups, and how those stories can affect the experiences of outgoing teams.
