- Breakout Session
- MG Meeting Rooms Gateway Ballroom B
- November 21 2025 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Experts from Faith to Action and Rapha International will provide guidance and better practice standards for short-term missions to ensure positive outcomes for vulnerable children, their families, and their communities. This session is meant for a diverse audience of churches, mission agencies, faith-based organizations, donors, short-term mission trip participants, and others who are interested in promoting care for orphans and vulnerable children through sending or joining short-term mission teams. It encourages short-term missions to shift their focus from engaging with children in residential care centers to engagement in activities that support family-based care. The information in this session is built on best practices in child protection, missiology, and cross-cultural engagement.
