For 25 years the teachers of missions from the various colleges, universities, and training schools of the churches of Christ have met to discuss the challenges, needs, resources, and opportunities for cross-cultural evangelism and church planting. We rejoice in the increase in the number of trained missionaries, mission teams, and teachers of missions that have been used by God to plant churches all over the world. In addition, the World Mission Workshop continues as a vibrant influence in motivating college students to become missionaries.
More churches are willing to send and more teams are going.
For at least the next 30 years the church will have a unique source of personnel for missions in this generation who will have the resources, health, and desire to actively participate in cross-cultural ministry. Creative training opportunities are needed for mid-career adults. Mission enrichment seminars and special training workshops should be created to equip the church to train and recruit more older adults for missions. We, the teachers of missions, do respectfully request your prayers and involvement in facilitating this visionary process. Last updated March 11, 2000.
