An Exploration in Following: Short-term Missions and Saying Yes to Jesus

By Kyle Pierce

What should you expect in the Amazon Jungle when interacting with locals? What do you do during a military coup in Central America? How do you respond to orphaned children playing in sewer water? And what does it mean to follow Jesus to the ends of the earth? This book will guide you as you navigate the waters of visiting a new country and engaging its unique culture. Going on a mission trip to a new place can be daunting. This book details stories from different parts of the world and intriguing ideas discovered along the way. Kyle describes what to anticipate when traveling abroad, giving practical tips and tricks he's learned from excursions around five continents and over twenty countries. These insights will help prepare you for your short-term mission trip. Kyle's accounts, mixed with parables and teachings from the Bible, will enlighten you to new perspectives and ideas as you follow Jesus and say yes to him. Learn from his experiences (and mistakes) so that when you encounter long plane rides, or naked people, or reckless drivers, or rogue camels, or angry mobs, or demon possession, or an outhouse in the jungle, or whatever it is... your eyes can stay focused on Jesus and the task at hand.
