Short Term Missions

Short Term Missions is Worth It!

In 1991 CFC sent its first mission team to Burundi, Africa. Since then short term mission teams have been sent out to a number of countries, including Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Japan, Mexico, Thailand and Myanmar just to name a few.

Here’s why we think short term missions is worth it:
Mind for Missions. Because it creates mission mindedness in hundreds of people each summer, it’s worth it! If 50 people go on missions one summer, that means hundreds more are involved as they give donations, pray and develop a heart for the countries.

Full Time Missionaries. Because full time missionaries can come out of these projects, it’s worth it! Through the projects, team members will see a vision of the world and God’s heart. We believe some will sense a calling from God through their short-term experience.

Lifetime Financial Supporters. Because it produces people who will give financially to the cause of mission work for their whole lives, it’s worth it! When short-termers see firsthand some of the needs on the field, we believe they will become better financial supporters for Kingdom work. They will see why CFC dedicates 50 percent of all offerings towards mission work.

Daily Lifestyle. Because it radically challenges our daily lifestyle, it’s worth it! Short-termers will be challenged to be better stewards of their resources. We believe they will catch a servant’s lifestyle and heart.

Prayer for Missions. Because it produces more prayer for missions, it’s worth it! When short-termers return from missions, they are challenged to keep praying for the missionaries they met, the people they ministered to and the country they set their foot on.
