Men and Women Wanted for a Dangerous Calling

The Associate of Arts in Missions isn’t the goal—it’s the consequence of the kind of training you need to take the message of Jesus to the edge of darkness. If you’re ready to abandon hopes for fame and recognition, and do the quiet work of a true disciple, your journey starts here.

There’s no guarantee of safety, no promise of comfort—only the hope of a full life alongside Jesus, wherever He leads.
