Which role serves to recommend prospective missionaries to the director of World Missions?

• A. World Missions Board
• B. International Council
• C. Assistant Director of World Missions
• D. Secretary General

Answer: (C)

This question tests who is positioned to recommend prospective missionaries to the director of World Missions. The Assistant Director of World Missions typically handles the pipeline of candidates, gathering applications, doing initial evaluations, and compiling a vetted set of recommendations for the director to consider. This role acts as the main liaison between prospective missionaries and the director, ensuring that each candidate aligns with mission goals, qualifications, and timing. The other roles have important duties—policy oversight and broader governance for the board, advisory input from the international council, or general administrative duties from the secretary general—but they do not specialize in vetting and presenting individual missionary recommendations to the director.
