Today we’ll take up again our journey through the 12 statements we have accumulated over the years and which Dr Peter Yorgin has put into its present form. We are all for building on these statements over time. Today we make the case for “Obeying the rules.”

Greetings once again from the Zeal With Knowledge blog, a ministry of the Best Practices in Global Health Missions group and the Health for All Nations.

Kurt Ver Beek, featured in the series, has granted permission for its use. It raises a plethora of questions and concerns regarding the use of short term teams for what many call “missions” endeavors.
