Who recommends prospective missionaries to the director of World Missions?

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

Answer: (B)

The process hinges on who handles candidate screening and recommendation for leadership review. The Assistant Director of World Missions is the person who evaluates prospective missionaries, gathers endorsements, and prepares a well-supported recommendation for the director. This role acts as the main liaison, ensuring that each candidate aligns with mission objectives and field needs before presenting them for final approval.

The other bodies sit in complementary but broader roles: the World Missions Board sets policy and approves budgets, the International Council provides broad guidance, and the Secretary General handles administrative coordination. They don’t typically spearhead the presentation of individual candidates to the director.
