Is Short-Term Mission Really Worth the Time and Money: Advancing God's Kingdom Through Short-Term Mission ø Results of Stem Short-Term Mission Research

This report contains the findings of a study conducted by STEM Ministries with regard to changes in the perceptions and behaviors of short-term mission participants as a result of, and subsequent to, their short-term mission experience with STEM. The study found substantial changes in prayer, financial giving, commitment to world mission, mission-related activities and education, and in feelings about returning to the mission field. These findings demonstrate an increase in participants' future contribution to the Biblical mandate of world mission as a result of their short-term mission.
