The short term mission experience is short-circuited and vulnerable to unnecessary detraction without appropriate reentry preparation and processing.  The reentry component should be well-thought through and planned for.

Without adequate reentry preparation and follow up, it is easy for the short term experience to fizzle out with minimal impact on the returnee nor the sending church or agency.

The trip may be over, but a new journey has just begun.  Unassisted, the returned minister may find difficulty in charting a new course.

The Reentry Guide for Short-term Mission Leaders is a GREAT starting point!
