Description: Train your team leaders and each of your mission team members to be effective Christlike servants cross-culturally! "A Mission Team—Team Member Handbook" walks each team through all the preparation each member need to do — such as defining team members’ roles, raising support, and preparing for conversations with people from other cultures and religions.

Designed to be used in conjunction with "A Mission Team—Leader's Handbook" (sold separately) — both of which have been field tested with hundreds and hundreds of Canadian and America short-termers and their leaders — make sure you order one copy each, for each of your Team Members (along with one "Leader's Handbook" for each of your Leaders).

“In my experience, I have yet to find a more useful tool in the training of short-term teams than this. Mark and Anita Cassidy have provided a manual that equips someone without experience to train teams for maximum effectiveness on the field. They have done an excellent job in compiling and discussing key issues surrounding the preparation of a short-term team. Any team that uses this will be prepared for the ministry they will be involved in.”
—Rev. Chad Houghton, Senior Pastor of Maple Hill Baptist Church (leader of multiple mission teams)

“I found the team training handbook to be a huge help to the Sardis Community Church team. We appreciated the guidelines for them from the beginning to choose the appropriate people for team treasurer, leader, etc. Also, the section on VBS was most helpful and this team used that as their basis to prepare the VBS material for Peru. They met weekly for six months to study, pray and prepare and this manual was a wonderful tool for them. Thanks!”
—Jim and Vegas Dargatz
