Missions

Members going on both long-term and short term missions trips has always been at the core of CMDA Canada. To learn more about how CMDA Canada can come alongside you to provide a charitable receipt for the cost of your mission trip, contact our Administration and Finance Manager Laurie Schmuland. We also provide special scholarships for students doing mission electives.
