Further details (for good accountability)

Though I tend to fly at the 20000 foot level and forget to mention details, it's good to pause and give you the details for good accountability measures.

So, we grabbed the template used by an international NGO . . .

Key Objectives: (i.e. what are the key reasons for undertaking the trip?)

1. Identify and meet with potential MAB mission partners in Northern Thailand to work with/receive from.

2. Expose leadership of church (pastoral and eldership) to the two thirds world to help wider church grapple with our global responsibilities and involvement.
