The eTeams ministry is an assembly-based outreach that has been formally working under the auspices of MSC Canada and in cooperation with CMML. Short-term missions is the main road down which many of our long-term missionaries first walked.

It was nine decades ago, in 1926, that the first assembly commended worker, John Spreeman arrived in the province of Quebec to begin a “boots on the ground” work of evangelization among French Canadians.
