Tips for Mission Presentations in Local Church
The North American Mission Board has a helpful resource for coaching missionaries on how to give effective presentations in the local church.
The article is titled "Tips for Missionary Speakers" and can be used to guide short-term mission teams who aren't used to giving presentations.
Not everything will apply to short-term teams ... but there is some good pointers you could pass on.
I also want to add some of my own tips, based on hearing teams report:
Hit the highlights -- Remember that you can't include everything
Explain why you went on the trip Answer the question, "How has it changed you?"
Keep it to the designated time limit
Center your presentation on the ministry, mission work (not just the socioeconomic climate)
Include a booth in the foyer to answer questions afterward
Don't take them on a guilt trip -- explain that mission trips allow them to take the Gospel into other cultures, while providing an opportunity to grow and see the work going on in other countries -- (Not everyone shares your burden for your particular country, nurture a similar passion in them.)
