He provides a careful historical survey of the development of STM and then offers an in-depth ethnographic study of a particular mission trip to the Dominican Republic. He explores how participants remember and interpret their experiences, and he unpacks the implications for how North American churches understand mission, grapple with poverty and relate to the larger global church. --from publisher description  aDescription based on print version record. 0aShort-term missions. 7aShort-term missions.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01117489 7aRELIGION / Christian Ministry / Missions2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aHowell, Brian M.tShort-term mission.dDowners Grove, IL : IVP Academic, c2012z0830863400w(DLC)  2012027645w(OCoLC)778417028403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=63255440uhttp://site.ebrary.com/id/107681523ebrary  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn11083874  aebrarybEBRYnebr10768152  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn632554  acpp3089  a02bN$T  c53741d53741
