Churches increasingly want to be connected into what God is doing world-wide. For many, this means creating partnerships with other churches working in challenging and under-resourced contexts. The experiences of some indicate that doing cross-cultural ministry partnerships well is complex and challenging. If your church is thinking of moving in this direction, you will be interested in the unveiling and explanation of Best-Practice for Church to Church Missions Partnerships!

“Short Term Missions and the Law”

Mission has always been dangerous. The capture and release of a
group of short-term mission participants in Afghanistan highlights the
potential danger inherent in any short-term missions (STM) encounter.
The Afghanistan incident is a stark reminder of the importance of having clearly developed policies regarding organizational liability and risk management.

Local church inattention to matters related to gathering, managing and expending of tax receipted monies can lead to potential C.R.A. litigation.

Come and hear Dr. Charles Cook explain research conducted which will help you understand the legal ramifications for your next Church STM.
