Someone asked me this morning how he should prepare for short term missions. Having led or part led such groups, I said the most important thing is for the team to identify your gifting and calling, and put you to use. That implies, of course, that participants seek out their gifting and calling, so that they know it. It doesn't matter that it is the first such mission -- one should be employed immediately, fully. OBSERVATION: In the case of a group that I led, I gave the group portfolios. My own portfolio was finance, since I had just led a financial recovery in my Church -- but that is a deeply spiritual subject, too.
