Short-term Trips Cohort Spring 2023

For a Sending Church Short-term trips can be an incredible piece of the long-term vision of an overseas partnership when done rightly. When poorly executed, they can be harmful for the field, the goer, the nationals and the church. This cohort will focus on principles for sending great short-term teams. 

This cohort will be led by Larry McCrary, Co-founder and Executive Director for the Upstream Collective. Larry has 20 years of overseas experience. The cohort runs March - May 2023. Participants will meet 3 times for two hours each session: 

Session One - Making sure the Receiving team is ready    Thursday, March 2, 10 -12 noon EDT Asking the right questions with your receiving partner before you go 

Session Two - Making sure the Short Term is ready    Thursday, April 6, 10 - 12 noon EDT Equipping the Short Term team

Session Three - Making sure the Goer is ready and debriefed upon return    Thursday, May 4, 10 -12 noon EDT Providing the right training for the goers (head, heart and hands)

On top of each session, members will have 3 one-hour individual coach calls with Larry over the course of those few months. The cost of the cohort is: $750 for the first church member to sign up. Each subsequent member can signup for $100. For questions contact Larry McCrary at larry@theupstreamcollective.org
