What is Mission?

When you think of 'mission' what is the first thing that comes to mind? A missionary? Someone who travels to distant countries to proclaim the gospel? Yet, the Bible teaches that mission is far bigger...and much more personal.

Discover how understanding mission can help to transform your church fellowship and individual life.

Understanding Mission is brought to you by Langham Partnership, a global Christian mission organisation that believes that every church deserves a well-equipped pastor. We aim to see churches in the Majority World equipped for mission and grow to maturity in Christ.

Rev. Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright is Langham's International Ambassador and mission theologian. The royalties made on his books help fund Langham's three programmes: Literature, Scholars and Preaching.

Langham recognises the need for all Christians to understand 'God's mission' and how that should impact each of our lives. We want to partner with you on this journey through the Understanding Mission course.
