I may be getting a wee bit cynical...

It occurs to me that I may be getting a little too cynical in my thoughts around church and short term missions.  And it has been especially helpful to read some other bloggers with great words to realize:
A. I'm not the only one who thinks this.

B. We seriously need to reclaim the biblical narrative around serving others.

I recommend Jamie, the very worst missionary and her husband El Chupacabra as good places to start reading.  They link to lots of other folks who are thinking hard about what the face and culture of STM should look like.

Happy Reading!
