We love student mission trips! Sometimes those trips are fairly close to home and sometimes they're super far away, but they're almost always incredible. There is something about getting kids outside of their comfort zone that can be truly life-changing. Giving them the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with others is giving them the opportunity to live out the great commission that we're all called to follow.

But what do we do to leverage that experience in their lives to create long-lasting change in the way they're following Jesus? It's important that we consider doing much more than just taking our students on a trip, having a great experience and then coming home until the next big youth trip or youth event.

We believe the key is discipleship. The kind of discipleship that prepares a teenager to go on mission, live out the mission while on the trip and continuing to live out the great commission when they get back home.

In this week's episode, we're going to take a look at discipling students during short term missions.
