Revivals in Africa, 10,000 Souls for Christ
A prayer that changed a family's destiny. August 1912, the month of Samuel Howells' birth, saw his parents, Rees and Lizzie, petitioning for African missionaries. Then, a Divine intervention: "I will send you." This unexpected answer thrust them into a profound dilemma. Their infant son, Samuel, could not survive the African climate, making this commission a test of their faith and obedience.

China 1930s to 1990s – Mission Advance Persecution & Revival
Rees Howells had led the staff and students of the Bible College of Wales in prayer for China on many occasions. In 1936, he sold land and gave it to evangelise one thousand villages in China. Meanwhile, after World War II (1939-1945), whilst the West was occupied with threats from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), a small group of revolutionaries swept themselves into power in China, as Satan sought to capture the souls of one-fifth of humanity!

Are Short Term Mission Trips Effective?
A minority of Christians claim that short-term missions are a waste of finances. There are many and varied reasons why some hold to this point of view, but can we quantify a price for a soul?

What is a Mission Trip?
The Devil would love to convince you that all this mission stuff isn’t for you. The Devil is a liar and you know it!

Money for your Short-Term Missions
Many Christians who go on a short-term mission (STMs) are happy to ask their church or fellow believers for financial support towards the trip. However, some may not feel able to ask for money towards their STM or like Abraham, after rescuing Lot, he refused the spoils of war from the King of Sodom, thus not allowing the king any opportunity to boast that he had made Abraham rich (Genesis 14:12-24). You may be surprised how many individuals or churches give small amounts towards STMs or nothing at all and then boast as if they entirely supported the mission team!

Extreme Short-Term Missions
The type of independent missions that take you to isolated areas or remote tribes cost considerably more than your average trip with any mission organisation, though you can tie up with specialist agencies and NGOs.
