Introduction - Short-Term Missions Training Course

Mission trips can be as impacting for the people going as it is for the people reached. But every mission trip—no matter how long or short—requires much organization, preparation, and attention to detail.

With an introduction by Blessings International's CEO, Barry Ewy, PharmD, JD, MHA, the Short-Term Missions Training course prepares teams so that they can effectively serve on mission.

Designed and delivered by Troy Sledge, RN, MSN, the Short-Term Missions Training course is derived from years of first-hand experience.
