Serving with Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-Term Missions with Cultural Intelligence (Paperback)

Livermore, David A. (Author)

Your passport to learning how short-term missions can best serve Christ's kingdom Short-term mission trips are great ways to impact the kingdom. Yet they can lack effectiveness because of mistakes or naivete on the part of participants. In this insightful and timely book, David A.

Serving with Eyes Wide Open is a must-have book for anyone doing a short-term mission or service project, whether domestic or overseas.
