Summaries you’ll learn from this Training
At Church of Our Saviour (COOS), missions are not just about travel—they’re about transformation. In the first session of our four-part mission trip orientation series, participants are invited to explore the biblical perspective of missions, guided by Anna from the Missions Department. This foundational training sets the stage for a journey that goes far beyond borders, into the heart of God’s redemptive plan for all people.
