What is the purpose of your mission trip?
What cultural and social aspects of the country you have chosen bear on your reasons for choosing that country?
What aspects of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic ideal to love your neighbor as yourself are to be considered in your reasons for your mission trip? How does your personal World-view and the possible World-views of your target population influence your plans for the trip?
What is the projected size of the target population in 5 years? How does it compare with the entire population? (Be Specific…. Local area i.e. Can’t take care of the Philippines as a whole so, be specific like target Zamboanga City (Southern Region of the country), be even more specific. We are here to help take care of all children under the age of 16 that are malnourished and help fix schools in the area…)
