The Mission Train
Building on Concordia University's existing missional emphasis and the Northwest District's desire to see God's grace extended to all it serves in the great Northwest, CALL, in a partnership with the Northwest District, will provide resources, programming, and partnerships to support local, regional, and international mission activities. This process includes providing students, lay leaders, and professional church workers with opportunities to enhance their motivation and skills - developing a sound, missiological DNA - in order to establish and implement mission activities and events: to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus Christ and His message of grace and forgiveness in their communities. For specific information on current ministries among ethnic and immigrant peoples, please see Ethnic Ministries Taskforce.
