Join Don Richter as he discusses
Mission Trips that Matter: Embodied Faith for the Sake of the World
Andover Newton Theological School on May 10, 2008 - Global Perspectives on Mission in the 21st Century
Don Richter will lead workshops based on his book Mission Trips That Matter.
Richter will explore Christian practices for pondering the body as groups prepare for, engage in, and interpret mission trips and outreach projects. What wisdom might the Spirit whisper as mission team members get immunization shots, fill water bottles, lace up walking shoes, and pull out maps for the journey? Focusing on faith practices can shift mission trips from being episodic and event-focused to being woven into the larger fabric of a way of life, weaving human activities into God’s redemptive activity.
