Each year, an estimated total of 1 to 1.5 million individuals from North America participate in some type of international humanitarian short-term mission trip, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few months. While all of these trips are undoubtedly well-intentioned, the actual impact might only be temporary. These trips have the potential to make a permanent change in the lives of the poor, and MAP International has the tools to make this happen.
We believe the short-term missions experience should be transformed into something that is a complementary component of effective, empowering, and sustainable long-term health development programs. Our vision is to shift paradigms within the short-term missions movement towards better integration with long-term community health development programs. We call this Transformational Missions, and we are proud to offer individuals and teams the opportunity to participate in this vision.
