If Coca-Cola can acheive the above success in just 100+ years of product offering, then how can we do better at mobilizing followers of Jesus through short-term missions.

The George Barna Research Group has produced some very stricking research results ... "Despite Benefits, Few Americans Have Experienced Short-Term Mission Trips ... despite the accessibility and personal benefits, most Americans have never experienced such a short-term service project. Just 9% of Americans have ever been on one of these brief service trips, including only 11% of churchgoers. What's more, most of the people who have ever gone on such a journey did so more than five years ago. To put that in perspective, only 8 million of the 228 million adult residents of the U.S. have been on a short-term mission trip in the last five years."
