EVANGELISM?

In the Bible Jesus says, “Go into all the world and make disciples. “(Matt:28:19)  To me, the theme of this verse is to make disciples. 

If the goal is to make disciples then realistically should churches have short term missions trips? And if so, what do you think they should look like?

The reason I ask this is because Jesus says to make disciples.  He does not tell us to go, get people saved and then leave. But instead to make disciples.  Discipleship takes time, sometimes many years. 

Typically, a short term missions trip is just that, short, usually a week or two.  Is this enough time for one to disciple a person? Not in my experience.

I am not against missions trips, in fact I have been on my fair share of them and have enjoyed, and learned from, everyone of them.

I would love to hear what you think, so leave a comment!
