What happens when a generation of young men grow up without families? These are the stories of young gang members incarcerated in a Central American prison. They tell of their hunger for belonging, heartache at the church's hostility, and hope that they can change and contribute to their communities.
Four million Americans take short-term mission trips out of the country every year, with churches spending as much on these trips as they do on long-term missionaries. David Livermore of the Global Learning Center at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary and author of the book Serving with Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-Term Missions with Cultural Intelligence explores the value of such practices with host Karen Saupe.
Members from a short term missions team from Chapel Hill North Carolina go to visit a family in the Kware slum, just outside of Nariobi.

This channel is about giving credit to creative, provocative and challenging videos created during and in response to short term missions trips. There are so many bad videos from these trips. This channel honors the ones that we think get it right. We're not just looking for videos that are crafted by professionals. Rather, we are looking for videos that say something, either about the people going, the people hosting, or the destination community. They could be funny, moving, sad, or infuriating.
Round Trip Missions is not for summary missions videos. You know the kind - they are like watching your aunt's vacation slide show - interesting for the people that went, not so interesting for everyone else.
