What tips and tricks do you use to prepare and plan youth missions trips? What has worked well for your team?
Having a good understanding of the biblical foundation of missions helps young people see why missions is important and why God’s heart is for all nations. Didasko Missions Academy (www.dasko.org) offers a short course called The Bible and Missions to help learners explore this important topic.
All Didasko courses are video-based and include short mini-lectures, engaging quizzes, and additional resources for deeper learning. The courses are completely free of charge. A facilitator manual is also available on request, providing guided questions and discussion points to help groups process the material and gain a deeper understanding of the content.
