Missions

Missions is churches sending qualified trained workers to start and strengthen churches across significant barriers, most often geographic, cultural and especially linguistic. Others support the work of missions through a wide range of tasks (flying airplanes, teaching missionary children, helping with accounting, etc.) and participate in missions as long as those tasks support the ultimate goals of church planting and strengthening.
