questioning the way we do mission trips

Kurt Johnstson (Saddleback's Junior High Pastor) is rethinking the way they do short-term mission trips. Marko worked through the same lines, spurred on by an article from Seth Barnes.

We're taking a hard look at STM (short-term missions), as well as our Summer Camp. This summer, we're spending less money, staying local, and serving our community.

There is a lot to unpack here, but we are re-thinking our emphasis, trying to help students grow into a place where we value serving others more than we serve ourselves.

Stay tuned for more info about Summer SPLAT.
