D.  Specifics for Career/Term Missionaries (It is strongly recommended that           career missionaries partner with an approved missionary agency)

     1.  Priority of consideration for support will be based on our philosophy, knowing it is unlikely
     that any missionary candidate will meet all six points.

     2.  Application Process

          a. Intent or desire to serve as a missionary should be made known to the missions team as
          early as possible.

          b. A letter of acceptance and recommendation of the applicant should be submitted from the
          sponsoring mission agency or organization.

          c. The applicant will be interviewed by either persons from the pastoral staff, elders, or
          missions team, or any combination thereof.

          d.  Signed Covenant(s) as described above will be kept on file.

     3.  Financial Consideration
          a.  It is our desired goal to support each missionary unit not less than 10% of the total support
          needed.

          b.  Support for approved candidates may begin at least one month, but no more than three
          months prior to departure for assigned field or service. Special situations described by the
          sending agency will be reviewed individually.

          c.  Each missionary will be required to submit an annual report of their financial report and
          ministry.

          d.  Missionaries who fail to communicate in a timely manner (as described in point IV-C-2) may have their funds temporarily suspended until such communication is received.

          e.  When a missionary takes a leave of absence from his present ministry, his financial support
          will be discontinued until such time that he resumes his previous ministry, and at that time his
          support status will be re-evaluated.

           f.  When it is necessary to withdraw the support of a missionary, it shall be at the time of
           home assignment or after withdrawal from the mission or field.
