Respectful Service Resource Download

Through our experience facilitating short-term mission trips we have learned a lot of lessons about respectful service—sometimes through mistakes but also through success. We know that, without intentionality and thoughtfulness, missions can end up hurting the people they are intended to help. But we also know that this hurt can be minimized and avoided altogether.

This guidebook is a summary of the things we’ve learned about respectful service. We are the first to admit that we still mess up sometimes and fail to serve respectfully. However, it is our hope and prayer to intentionally lean into our value of respectful service and encourage others in the church to do the same.
