How does the CandMA approach global missions?

The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) approaches global missions with a strong emphasis on sending missionaries and providing training. This strategy aligns with the organization's belief in the Great Commission, which encourages believers to make disciples of all nations. By sending missionaries, the C&MA aims to establish a presence in various cultural contexts, fostering relationships and sharing the gospel effectively.

In addition to sending missionaries, the C&MA prioritizes training to equip both missionaries and local church leaders in the field. This training often includes theological education, leadership development, and cultural sensitivity, which are vital for effective ministry in diverse environments. By focusing on both aspects—deployment and empowerment—the C&MA ensures sustainable growth and the establishment of healthy, reproducing churches globally.

This approach reflects an understanding of the need for both direct evangelism and the long-term establishment of local church leadership in various contexts, enabling the church to thrive and adapt within different cultures.
