Who recommends prospective missionaries to the director of World Missions?

The recommendation of prospective missionaries to the director of World Missions is typically handled by the Assistant Director of World Missions. This position has the specific responsibility of evaluating potential candidates for missionary work and ensuring they align with the mission goals and standards set by the Church of God. The Assistant Director serves as a vital link between the prospective missionaries and the leadership in World Missions, facilitating the application process and coordinating the necessary assessments.

In this context, the other roles mentioned, such as the Area Superintendent, the International Council, and the State Overseer, have their own specific functions within the church structure but do not directly handle the recommendation of missionaries for the World Missions program. Their responsibilities may involve oversight and regional management but do not typically extend to the direct recommendation process for individual missionary candidates. This focused role of the Assistant Director highlights the intentional process involved in missionary recruitment and the importance of having dedicated leadership in place to guide potential missionaries.
