One of the blogs I regularly read is by Vinoth Ramachandra. In a recent post, Who Says “No” to “Mission Trips”?, Ramachandra offers a needed, helpful perspective on the short-term mission phenomenon. He questions the necessity of and motives behind the large amount of mission traffic from the West to the Rest and dares to say that maybe someone should say ‘No’.

Wow…gives me something to think about. Interesting perspective from one who “receives” the short term missionary. We need to ask more questions of the nationals we visit.
Excellent article. Thanks, Mike.
