Short-term missions (STM) are not about bringing change to others. They are about stepping into the ongoing work that God is already doing. Instead of a task-driven approach, this workshop explores STM as a mission of companionship, where mutual learning, shared leadership, and deep relationships take priority over projects. Participants will reflect on how cultural assumptions shape engagement, challenge traditional power dynamics, and consider how to make STM teams whole by including and elevating the voices of local partners. Together, we will reimagine STM as walking alongside, rather than leading ahead, for a more just, Christ-centered approach to missions.
