What is Evangelical Friends Mission looking for in a
missionary?First and foremost, a consistent
Christian life and a sure "call" from God or certain sense of leading
from the Holy Spirit to become a missionary.
Second, harmony with the teachings and beliefs of
the Evangelical Friends Church. Our
Statement of Faith is available,
and is somewhat similar to other evangelicals.
Third, respect for national leaders, other cultures
and people in authority. Respect is a high priority in serving well
across cultural boundaries.
Fourth, the ability to get along well with
others - nationals, missionary workers, home office, supporting
churches and people in general.
Fifth, a willingness to learn church planting and/or
leadership development skills. These are our major concerns, although
we can always discuss other passions and goals if they are from God.
Let's talk!!! Nobody's perfect.
His/yours,
Chuck Mylander
