Each summer, California Baptist University sends 30-35 teams and more than 300 students on missions throughout the world. The plans changed during 2020, of course, but still included sending the gospel. The time, platform and number of participants may have been different for the Southern Baptist-affiliated school, but the goal of sharing Christ remained the same.
CBU and others have discovered the advantage of virtual mission trips, a new way of taking the gospel to the nations. And while no one is advocating they replace the physical presence of ministry, their benefits are becoming more apparent.
