World missions is at the heart of VCAC. Whether their work is long term or short term, we are committed to the support of missionaries around the globe. As stated elsewhere, VCAC is associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance, which is an alliance of evangelical believers, joined together in local churches, committed to following the Great Commission, as given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20, NIV)
As our name implies, we are Christian because we believe and follow Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We are missionary because we are committed to reaching unreached people with the good news of Jesus Christ.
The mission statement for the C&MA reads, “The Christian and Missionary Alliance is committed to world missions, stressing the fullness of Christ and preaching the gospel to the ends of the earth.” Since the beginning in 1887, the Alliance has grown to a worldwide constituency of over 2.5 million including the United States and Canada. The C&MA now has ministries in 56 countries and territories around the world.
