Mission co-workers say to plan post-pandemic trips with a high level of intentionality

As travel restrictions begin to loosen worldwide and churches start thinking about long- and short-term mission trips, a group of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) mission leaders, World Mission staff and mission co-workers joined together on Zoom Wednesday night to talk about how to be thoughtful travelers when visiting global partners in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Christi Boyd, mission co-worker living in the Democratic Republic of Congo, offered advice to the group through a video. She said it is important to approach partner visits with a high level of intentionality by discerning the meaning, purpose and desired outcomes of our journey.
