I’ve compiled a list of several online courses that can help you in all of these areas.

The April 2023 issue of EMQ delved into the connection between creation care and missions. I learned so much from the writers in this issue. I am thrilled with how it all came together. I hope you will enjoy the issue as much as I do!
