Why: The Vocational Missions degree seeks to prepare and develop missionaries who will heed Christ's call to "go into all the world" with His message of hope and salvation.
Who: Students with a passion for God's Word and strong people skills, who intend to pursue "tent-making" ministry in another cultural or geographical setting. In other words, these students plan to support themselves through secular work while living as part of a mission team.
