Rethinking Orphanage Visits: Child Safe Mission Trips

Presented by: Elli Oswald

Description: Many Christians visit or volunteer in orphanages. Yet, increasing awareness of the risks compels us to rethink how mission trips can better support vulnerable children. This workshop will address the risks associated with visiting orphanages, and present practical guidance and resources for better volunteering and child-safe mission trips – aligned with biblical principles and a strong evidence base.The primary audience for this workshop is Christians who send, participate in or recieve short-term mission teams, and volunteers.
