The devotions in Called will give adults a solid spiritual assessment before they head full-force into ministry on a short-term mission trip. A mission trip leader will want to ceremoniously present the book Called to all trip participants at least fifteen days before they leave. Then each member of the mission team can read the same material and prepare together.

The devotions in Challenged focus on the spiritual transformation occurring in adults' lives as they are in the midst of serving others on the mission field. On the way to their destination, a mission trip leader will want to ceremoniously present Challenged to all participants. Adults will be inspired each day of their trip while reading the devo for the day and spending time with God.

The devotions in Changed empower adults to put their servant spirit into action in their own communities once they return home. When the mission trip team returns home, a mission trip leader will want to ceremoniously present Changed to all team members. The adults can then spend time deconstructing what they learned and how they grew from the trip.

Essential teaching for every short- and long-term outreach participant & every church and mission agency that sends them. Peter Jordan's vital, insightful teaching on the challenges and opportunities that await returning missionaries makes this essential reading for everyone involved in missions. A missions "must-read"!"I'm really excited about this book and thank God for its important and vital message. It is thirty years overdue! Short-term missions without this emphasis and teaching can easily end up as a tragedy instead of a triumph."- George Verwer, International Dir., Operation Mobilization "Having counseled with hundreds of returning missionaries, Peter & Donna know from experience the re-entry challenges and opportunities that await missionaries worldwide. They have much to say on this vital subject of re-entry... and the authority to say it."- Loren Cunningham, Founder and President, Youth With a Mission Pages: 156 (paperback)
