“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news”
Romans 10:15
WELCOME
TO CCO
MISSIONS.
You are made for adventure.
CCO Missions exist to bring Jesus to the nations. Through a CCO Mission you will learn how to proclaim the kerygma while also growing in your own relationship with Jesus. Mission is a life changing experience, but we need your yes.
“And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent?” (Romans 10: 14 – 15)
Why you should go on mission
How has Jesus changed your life?
When we encounter Jesus, our lives are completely transformed. How can we not share him with others? Missions provide us with the opportunity to do just this – to bring Jesus to those who need him the most.
What are you scared of?
St. Francis Xavier, a patron of missions, was scared that people would miss the opportunity to encounter Jesus. His biggest prayer was that young adults “…would cry outwith all their heart: Lord, I am here! What do you want me to do? Send me anywhere you like – even to India.”
Will you help build brick-by-brick, the city of God inside the city of man?
