Don’t crash and burn! Here’s a brand new, fabulous tool which should be required reading and journaling for every short-termer beginning day one back home from the mission trip.
Retired Naval Officer and pastor Jim Mersereau has authored a pivotal and essential 14-day devotional designed to lead short-term missionaries to prayerfully think through their mission trip experience, gain insight into what God was teaching, and learn how those lessons should make a difference in the practice of faith back home.
“Bringing It Home” functions intentionally as the post-field, back-home follow-up companion guide to Cindy Judge’s popular best-selling pre-field devotional journal, “Before You Pack Your Bags, Prepare Your Heart.”
For maximum impact in your short-term mission program, be sure that every short-termer comes back home to his/her own copy of “Bringing It Home.” 68-page paperback.
Author CINDY JUDGE: “Comparing your mountain-top experience "there" with being back "here" can be hard to navigate without some help. This devotional guide will help you re-enter your life at home by guiding you through the rough spots and many of the things that you wonder about after getting home.”
Author ROGER PETERSON: “To maximize continued spiritual health for both the short-term missionary and his/her sending church, every mission leader must provide … post-field follow-up. … Your short-term experience can easily crash and burn unless you’ve worked your way through the bountiful feast contained in each of these 14 life-infusing devotionals.”
Author BRIAN HEERWAGEN: “This is a LOT of GREAT packed into a SMALL package! Excellent for any age … the scriptures and questions help you navigate the life-change that can be realized as God continues His great work in your life!”
“I just ordered resources from STEM for the first time … I was delighted with your selection of resources and your prompt order fulfillment service. I order many things via the internet and have never had better service.”
Thanks for getting [my 40 books] out so fast!

Founder / CEO
STEM Int’l incorporated December 1984 as a Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian missions ministry. STEM relocated to Florida in 2013.
STEM Int’l was organized into three program divisions:
1. STEM Ministries (including STEM Share) — the short-term missions trip and outreach sending divisions. Between 1985 and 2013, STEM Ministries trained and sent out more than 8,000 short-term missionaries into more than a dozen nations in the Caribbean, Central & South America, and the 10/40 Window. We estimate that 15,000 people became Christ-followers as a result! In 2009 the Lord spoke clearly to us, saying “That’s it!” — so our STEM Ministries/STEM Share programs wound down during the next 4 years; we ceased sending short-term mission trips in 2013.
(an interactive listing of all STEM-sent teams from 1985-2013 is available on the original archived STEM website)
2. STEM Training — training churches and other sending entities to achieve maximum impact in their short-term mission programs through industry-leading training events and consulting and speaking services from the mid-1990s to about 2010 — with CEO Roger Peterson periodically available on a public speaking basis.
3. STEM Press — the missions publishing division of STEM Int’l. STEM Press began somewhat “accidentally” in 1991, when STEM Founder/CEO Roger Peterson co-authored and published a solid, empirical 40-page research study on the post-field outcomes of 366 previous STEM short-term missionaries. This study (still in print) has sold several thousand copies. Is Short-Term Mission Really Worth the Time and Money? reported statistically significant changes in prayer, financial giving, commitment to world mission, mission-related activities and education, and in feelings about returning to the mission field.
