At WACC we want to reach friends, family, neighbors, and other nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to see all people come to a faith relationship with Christ. It is for this reason that Missions & Outreach are high priorities and core values. We want to participate in the task of a disciple to "make other disciples," even to the ends of the earth. To that end, we support numerous Missions in all areas of the globe, and encourage and enable our own WACC families and students to participate in real-life missions experiences. Over the past few years, WACC students have been involved in cross-cultural ministry in over eight different countries.
