Scheduling a Missionary Speaker

 
“We can’t have a missionary speaker. Our church is too small. It costs too much.” On and on the monologue goes. Most of us have heard such conversations or similar ones.
 
I say, “Not so! Not so! Not so!” It is easier than you may think to schedule a missionary. Deputation Ministries (deputation@nazarene.org) is here to offer assistance. Your district deputation coordinator is also willing to help.

 
What Is NeededWhen trying to schedule a missionary, here are some things to remember and information that will be needed:
 

1. Name of missionary (if known)—If a specific missionary is not requested, Deputation Ministries can provide names of missionaries available for specific dates.
2. Exact name of church in which the missionary is to be scheduled
3. City location
4. Date(s) of desired service(s)
5. Service arrangement (Saturday PM/Sunday AM, Sunday AM/PM, etc.)
6. Type of event (mission emphasis, faith promise, retreat, etc.)
7. Name of contact person for the church
8. E-mail and phone for contact person

Inquiries relative to deputation offerings should be directed to Deputation Ministries.
Sure, you can schedule a missionary. Go ahead! Give it a try! Deputation Ministries will help.
