The concept
of missions has two important facets – The people
and the institutions.
While for many years the concept of missions were inevitably
linked to people working in an institution which has a mission
focus ,it is also important to note that there is a paradigm
shift in this matter .
Missions equally involves people who have a mission focus
working in diverse environments – private sector ,
government sectors and other kinds of institutions in India
and abroad .
In keeping these two factors in view, the core objectives
for the mission’s office have been proposed.
|
CORE OBJECTIVES
|
1)
|
To develop people with mission
focus by investing in their lives while they are in CMC, so
that wherever they are they will be an effective witness for
the Lord Jesus Christ . |
2)
|
To familiarise our staff and students with
the mission hospitals and the needs of various missions. |
3) |
To care, nurture and co-ordinate with mission
hospitals. |
|
Thus
the two main areas on which the missions office would need
to work are human resources and the mission institutions.
The common factor for almost all the ventures in the missions
office is that it will be voluntary in nature - by the faculty
and the institutions. The missions office seeks to work
with all those who are willing to contribute to the missions
irrespective of their religious faith and convictions. The
staff is free to help the missions office according to their
abilities and availability. They can freely contribute in
one or more of the diverse ventures taken up by this office. |
