Workshop

Title: Mission and money matters

Description: Overseas mission partners often have radically different approaches to money and resources than we have in the West. Different social and economic systems puzzle and confound many Westerners. Experienced missioners will use personal experience to illustrate principles of good mission practice for today's mission economics. "Besides well-intentioned but poorly thought-out funding doing damage by creating dependency and jealousy, etc, cross-cultural misunderstandings related to money have a potential to create disillusionment and hard feelings, and are probably the #1 way to derail cross-cultural partnerships."
