Christ's church is a world-wide community. But many people have never heard the good news of Christ.
Mission is a basic task of the church.
The church, parishes and all Christians are called upon to participate in God s mission as his fellow workers. Missions of today is a versatile task. The Lutheran holistic view of mission comprises both proclamation and service. Not only traditional spiritual work is done, but for example educational and health service programmes are being carried out. Turku and Kaarina parish union sponsores missionaries and missions fields in 15 different countries.
