In the streaming and binge-watching era we live in, there have been a plethora of shows that got their start, even had a few seasons, but were ultimately canceled without resolution. The TV execs at Netflix, NBC, or Amazon were only thinking about the bottom line, not our emotional investment and unresolved discontentment. Good thing most of these series are based on books that we can pick up to finish the plot.
 
A short-term trip without a re-entry meeting is often like this—a great story that has not found its resolution. While going on a short-term trip is an incredible experience, the re-entry meeting and its subsequent follow-through is what finishes the story for the Goer. The re-entry meeting provides resolution to questions, feelings, relationships, and next steps from the trip.
 
We've put together a resource that serves as a simple re-entry and debriefing guide. We are going to utilize the scenario of a followup to a ten-day trip. The re-entry meeting is happening on a Saturday morning from 9 to 11 am with a meal to follow. The meeting is three to four weeks after the trip has been completed. Please adjust to fit your needs as a missions leader.
