Work abroad programs
Overseas missions are organized efforts conducted in foreign countries, typically for religious, military, or diplomatic purposes.
The phrase most often refers to Christian evangelical work abroad—sending missionaries to convert, educate, or provide humanitarian aid: The church supports several overseas missions in Southeast Asia.
Military overseas missions involve deploying forces to foreign territories for combat, peacekeeping, or training operations.
