Taking Your First Short-term Mission Trip

3. Ask about the on-site leadership the agency provides.
Do they provide the leadership or do they expect you to find your way to the site? Know what they expect from you once you are on the field and decide if you are ready to add their expectations to the responsibilities that you already have. If you are leading a youth group on a project, keep in mind how added responsibilities from the sending agency could take you away from your team. You have to decide if you want to take on these added responsibilities or if another agency that handles everything for you is a better option.
