09.26.2011

The Mission Society recently approved eight new cross-cultural workers for service in various locations around the globe. The Mission Society’s Candidate Assessment and Orientation was held September 11-14, 2011 at the Norcross headquarters. The four days included interaction with staff, ministry and team-building activities, interviews, and a Personality Profile Assessment. The new missionaries’ names cannot be released until their country of service has been finalized.

One couple currently resides in Texas. They are both trained as teachers and desire to work in children’s ministry. Their field of service has yet to be determined.

Another couple, both from Germany, plan to serve with Children of Zion Village in Namibia. He currently works in product development and she has served at Children of Zion Village for several months with Travis and Lorna Curry.

A third couple was approved for an 18-month internship with The Mission Society. They reside in Florida where he studied engineering and she studied political science and writing. Their field of service has yet to be determined.

A fourth couple resides in Georgia and has taken a number of short-term mission trips before committing to career service with The Mission Society. They plan to serve in Ghana and desire to start an addiction recovery ministry there.

The Mission Society now has 223 missionaries serving in 39 countries. Forty percent of those serve in locations with security concerns.
