If you send or receive multiple short-term mission personnel (teams or individuals), circle October 15-18 on your fall 2008 calendar. Your expertise is needed in Atlanta, GA (USA) at the networking, training and empowering conference of the Fellowship of Short-Term Mission Leaders. This four- day conference/retreat at the Lodge at Simpsonwood is a gathering of executive-level STM leaders — lay and paid — from colleges and universities, mission agencies and local churches. This year’s conference will feature Brent Lindquist and Bruce and Donna Warren and will focus on member care for short-term missionaries and practitioners.
