The word '7.0' used in the book's title represents the current trend of short-term missions and contains three symbols that appear in the Bible.
▲The seven tribes of Canaan in Deuteronomy 7 symbolize a journey of obedience and challenge, ▲the sending of the 70 in Luke 10 symbolizes a communal mission and strategic distribution, and ▲the seven baskets in Mark 8 symbolize continuous fruit and change.
This book raises the central question of short-term missions: “Why should we go?” rather than “What should we do?”
He likens short-term missions to "planting seeds" rather than "harvesting," and short-term mission teams to "midwives" rather than "mothers," and urges them to move beyond emotion-centered missions to evangelical cooperation.

This book, consisting of 12 chapters, covers the theological background and history of short-term missions, intercultural communication, and missionary sensitivity in the first half, while the second half presents specific practical content from mission preparation, execution, and post-mission management.
In particular, Chapter 4, "The Risks and Limitations of Short-Term Missions," addresses head-on the sensitive issues facing short-term missions today, such as cultural imperialism, local dependence, tourism missions, and unprepared enthusiasm, and suggests a direction for healthy missions.

It also includes contemplative essays and discussion questions based on actual missionary experiences, making it a perfect educational resource for teams preparing for short-term mission trips.
We expect that 『Short-Term Mission Manual 7.0』 will serve as a practical compass for churches and youth contemplating the meaning and direction of short-term missions.
I am confident that this book is essential for those who hope that short-term missions will become a sacred journey that both fulfills the church's mission and fosters the maturity of its members.
