Lead short-term mission trips (STMs) that catalyze trip participants into mission-oriented disciple-makers when they return home. STMs can be mutually beneficial service opportunities that have positive long-term impact on both trip participants and national hosts. While this is possible, it is not always the outcome of many STMs. STMs often prioritize the short-term experience of trip participants and miss the longer-term discipleship opportunity they offer. STMs can be a context of significant, mutually beneficial work between both trip participants and national hosts. This work can serve as a catalyst for meaningful, long-term growth for both parties, but an appropriate philosophy and trip structure is needed. This book studies and reveals best practices for both.
Dr. Stanley Highstreet returns in four new exciting mysteries. In Murder at the Mystery Grove, shy physicist and paranormal investigator Dr. Stanley Highstreet and his assistant PI Zetrower Hill endeavor to unravel the secrets behind the strange gravitational anomalies of the famous tourist attraction. Two seemingly unrelated deaths turn out to be more than just freak accidents. Locked room mysteries are not supposed to happen in real life. Dr. Highstreet finds himself trying to solve one in Mostly Ravens. Was Rachel Fournier's death a suicide or a clever murder? A mysterious and possibly dangerous cult called “The Tribe” has lost its leader in Death of a Guru. Dr. Highstreet receives a desperate email from an old friend. The group might be caught in the fevered millennium fears of Guru Dimitri Sokol. The famed island penitentiary has once again become a prison after a park ranger has been found strangled in Saints of Alcatraz. Dr. Highstreet and Zet Hill are on the island simply to investigate a psychic who has been giving unofficial “ghost tours.” To get off the island in time to make a speaking engagement, Dr. Highstreet reluctantly agrees to solve the murder case.

In his first letter to the people of the city of Corinth, chapter twelve, verse 13, St Paul writes "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known". In the same way, the following Reflections are only but a few stories which I do hope you will reflect upon and enjoy. They consist of some memories of life's experiences, with, at times, tongue firmly in cheek! As you read these, may you also reflect upon your own stories and memories. Then, if possible, you can pass yours onto someone else to think upon, and also, hopefully, to enjoy!
