WASHINGTON (UMNS)—A new advocacy guide for church mission teams traveling internationally has been prepared by Bread for the World in conjunction with its religious partners, including the United Methodist Committee on Relief and Church World Service. “Getting Ready to Come Back” is designed to help such teams understand the root causes of hunger and poverty in the communities and countries they visit. Tools throughout the resource help teams prepare for their trip, reflect on their experiences, and take action once back home—all with the goal of making a long-term impact by helping address the causes of hunger and poverty. The guide also includes Bible studies, suggested discussion topics and prayers for each part of the journey. Copies can be ordered or downloaded at www.bread.org/advocacyguide.
