Short-term missions are volunteer efforts where individuals or groups travel to different locations, often internationally, to assist with community projects, humanitarian aid, or religious outreach. These missions typically last from a few days to a few weeks and aim to address specific needs in the host community, such as education, healthcare, or infrastructure development. Participants in short-term missions often collaborate with local organizations or churches, such as non-profit groups or faith-based organizations. While these missions can provide immediate support, they also aim to foster long-term relationships and understanding between cultures, promoting mutual growth and learning.
