Long-Term Missions

Long-Term Missions is historically the category we think of most when we think of missionaries. Missionaries in long-term missions do not have a predetermined end date for their mission (as opposed to Short-Term Missions). Long-term missions generally demand language acquisition and training that culminates in language and cultural fluency. Driven by obedience to the Great Commission, a long-term mission could take anywhere from 10 years to a lifetime, with a focus on tasks such as translating scripture and planting churches rather than time frame.
