Great thoughts and insight into inspiring students to engage on social issues. I agree with all you said and would add that a responsible short-term mission trip only adds to engaging students. But it can’t just be a short-term mission trip for the sake of doing short-term mission trips. While on the trip we need to engage students in the deeper injustices of life in which we serve on short-term missions (reciprocal poverty, orphan care, immigration, refugees, etc.) We need to help students stay close to and “touch” the issues in relational ways. I don’t think I’m adding anything new to what you are already doing and encouraging people to do. But just wanted to add my two sense worth.

Thanks for your article!

Here is a blog I wrote about engaging students in justice issues on short-term mission trips. I offer for your consideration: https://tinyurl.com/yb4hje4q
