To sum it up mission experience is the end to end experience (that is the the affect a mission has) of:
- The missionary
- Staff in the field
- Local nationals who are partners in ministry
- Ministry partners (NGO's, Churches, etc...)
- Those being served
- Support staff
- Donors who support the mission
Throughout the lifecycle of a particular missionary undertaking whether it be a short term process, or multigenerational.
I will discuss more in depth as time progresses the importance of experience to each of the roles I described above as well as practical ways to enhance that experience.
