'Do it well' – Plan Ahead

The ‘Do It Well’ Mission Toolkit is set of easy-to-read booklets offers helpful advice and practical tips to those who are responsible for 'sending', as well as those who will be 'going on', short-term mission teams overseas.

Much of the content is also highly relevant for individuals who may be planning to engage short-term in mission in an overseas context.

The toolkit consists of five A5-sized booklets:

  1. Thinking of Going?
  2. Doing the Groundwork
  3. Ready, Steady, Go!
  4. Finishing Well
  5. Resources and Links


Copies may be download from the link above or printed copies may be purchased at a cost of £5 (postage is extra) from the Congregational Life and Witness office, Assembly Buildings, Fisherwick Place, Belfast BT1 6DW. Tel: +44 (0)28 9041 7246 or email clw@presbyterianireland.org
