Set aside a separate time for these activities. Don't let them distract you from your purpose. Be practical Don't be afraid to spend enough money on conveniences like hiring someone to cook for you. If you have limited time in an area, make the most of it by renting a van or using taxis instead of struggling to learn the local transportation system. Your journey will also be easier if you bring clothing that is comfortable, modest, and inconspicuous.
Long prayer walks, especially in the hot sun, can be very draining.
Some teams make the mistake of thinking that being spiritual means they must walk until they cannot take another step. By burning out and using up team members, you lose the long-term impact you could have by sending team members home with excitement, vision, and love for the people they have met. Balance these visits by spending time with bright, hopeful Christian workers or local believers, so team members can return home with hope and vision for their host people. Give them a chance to fall in love with the city and its people. God is working among the unreached peoples of the world.
