Are short-term mission trips just an excuse to see another country? Or is there a value for the missionary and the community they visit? Why go on a mission trip? Is it something anyone can do or just for the few? Record's own Olivia Fairfax has just returned from Africa, with some stories to tell. We find out more about why she was there and whether the trip made an impact. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm AEST or listen to the podcast, released Friday morning. The chat we had with Joel Slade can be found on YouTube here or on podcast here.
