Due May 17

PART ONE
Our discussion Sunday ended with the following statement:

"Our indiviual and team preparation will be characterized by..."

How will we complete that statement?

Read through the Short-term Missions Philosophy document titled "Commitments." This details the things we will and will not do in our preparation, execution, and debriefing of mission trips at Crossroads. Once you've read through them, do the following:

1) select any commitments you disagree with - explain why.
2) select two commitments you feel strongly about - explain why.
3) based on what you've read, complete the statement "Our indiviual and team preparation will be characterized by..."

PART TWO

In the appendix of your "Round Trip" materials is an article (p.86-90) titled "Experiencing Life at the Margins." Read the article, then in a post discuss the following:

1) what ideas in this article surprised you?
2) which of the ideas in the article do you think will especially apply to us as we work in Mancora? Which do you think will not apply? Why?
