Before You Go

A Book Review on “Before You Go” - from the Short Term Mission Toolbox Online

     “Have you ever wanted to take years of wisdom, place it in a pill and deliver it concisely to someone? Hempfling manages just that in his devotional resource. This book is intended for short term mission participants, as the title implies, before they depart. For forty days prior to departure, team members can meditate on topics ranging from team unity to personal purity to dealing with dirty toilets. The topics addressed are immanently practical for short term service. Hempfling does not engage in biblical exegesis or lead the reader through a bible study. Rather, he provides reflections on the application of scripture as it relates to the mission experience. The devotions are short and easily appeal to teenage participants with little interest in spiritual preparation or to more mature participants with less time on their hands. Each devotional concludes with a suggested prayer. If each participant sincerely offered the prayers in this book to the Lord, the impact on the entire experience would be worth one hundred times the price of the book.”

Dear servant to the nations:

     Are you getting a Short Term Mission team together for 2012 and want them to gel together as a unit in humility and with servants’ hearts?  Sending a short term missionary from your ministry? Are you a missionary who gets nervous by the insensitivity that first time short termers can have?  Remember, we were all on our first mission trip once!

    Consider helping your upcoming workers and teams gain a huge advantage by asking them to get and read “Before You Go” by experienced short term mission trainer Jack Hempfling … before they go.

    “I wish someone had given me a copy of Jack’s book when I was first starting out.”

Foreword by Peter Warren, Southwest USA Director Of YWAM and Director of YWAM Denver
