1. Is debriefing a non-negotiable element of your short-term mission plan? Under what circumstances would you be willing to cancel your debriefing sessions?

2. Read Luke 17:7-10. How could this passage be used to shape the perspective of your team members in preparation for the trip home?

3. Will your team members be given opportunities to share in a church service upon their return? What responsibility do you have as the team leader to help them prepare?

4. Many teams meet regularly for weeks prior to leaving for their short-term mission trip. What value would you see in meeting regularly for a number of weeks after the trip? What subjects would you want to address?

5. Most team members will raise over $1,000 to go on a short-term mission trip. Would including a line item for debriefing/follow-up materials, even if it adds $15 to the cost of the project, keep any of your team members from participating?
