Note: This resource was originally produced by our sister publication, BuildingChurchLeaders.com.
This resource is a collection of devotionals that are specifically designed for a small group or team of people preparing to serve through short-term missions. Half of the devotions are designed for use as preparation for the trip, and the other half are designed for use during the trip. You may use them in a group training session or have each team member read them individually.
