The Modern Missionary is a regular person just like me and you. Missionaries are our doctors, lawyers, teachers, police officers, and friends. They are our mothers, fathers, cousins, necies & nephews. Missionaries come from all walks of life, all different age groups and nationalities. Missionaries come together to work the harvest of souls.

We have all been called to go. Several individuals, great and small have answered the call, yet there is still a great need for so many more. The Church of God in Christ World Wide Department of Missions has just experienced a growth in missions involvement, and are seeking for more to join in the harvest for souls.


The Candidate Missionary........

Any person who is a member of the Church Of God In Christ, and who feels the call of God upon their lives for missionary service in the foreign field should write to:

P. O. Box 320, Memphis, TN. 38101
or
The Department Of Missions, Church Of God In Christ,
P.O. Box 733, Evanston, Illinois 60204-0733

1. Concerning prospective missionaries:
  • A candidate for missionary appointment must, if a man, be ordained; if a woman, be licensed;
  • Candidate must be serving faithfully in their home church and state;
  • Candidate must show evidence of the call of God upon his/her life, and be filled with the spirit of Christ;
  • Candidate must apply in writing for appointment, to a definite field of service. If there is a need in that particular field, the application will be considered;
  • Candidate must have personal character which enables him/her to work with others as well as expecting others to work with them and must have a good moral report. The candidate must be intellectually and spiritually prepared.

    Other aspects to becoming a full time missionary entail............
    2. Clearance of applicant’s request
    3. Filing the application
    4. Other reference needed
    5. Interview and clearance
    6. Deputation and itinerary
    7. Schooling or formal missionary training

    Once the missionary reaches the field, his/her main interest and goal will be to contact and be in touch with those in charge, if some other worker has preceded him/her. The missionary should unite with fellow missionaries and nationals to advance the Kingdom of God, and the Church Of God In Christ. This will mean that the people of your adopted country must become your people, and you must identify with them.
