Perhaps when one thinks of shepherding God’s flock, bringing his congregation to the mission field isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. However, there is much to be said for bringing a shepherd’s role to bear in a cross-cultural context, and the possibilities there for faithfulness, soul care, the spirit of truth, expository preaching, discipleship, and evangelism. Read on as we reflect on some of the things pastors and elders have had to say about their experience at MEDA International Missions, and the implications those have for the shepherd in short-term missions.

Expectations That Are Truly Great

Expectations That Are Truly Great

Most people are aware that they should never go into a cross-cultural context with expectations and presumptions of what it will be like. But in the context of short-term missions and the global church, there are a few things you can expect and should be intentional about when working with a like-minded ministry. Some of our group leaders from last year share some of their insights about just that.

Q&A: Daniel Edwards

Dan Edwards is a retired United Airlines pilot and has previously been to Honduras, having flown the Boeing 787 all around the world, including much of South and Central America. He will be celebrating his 50th anniversary as a pilot this year, and even though he still flies as a contract pilot, he is excited to take advantage of his retirement to do more of what he loves - ministry in the global church. Read on to hear more about his experience as a group leader for Bible Church of Owasso through MIM’s short-term mission program.
