History of Missions 101
For about a decade, churches have used this training for all those who become members of their missions committee. We pray that this course would be valuable for you too if you are sending a missionary or being sent as one. While this course was originally published under a different format, it has now been adapted to the teachable platform. Because of that, you will notice some of the videos make references to elements that currently do not exist. Thank you for your understanding and support of this ministry. We pray that it will continue to be beneficial to you and your church.
