How long have you been saved and preaching?
Church name and positions and length of service you and your spouse have held in the church prior to starting deputation.

When did you surrender to the mission field? When did you gain assurance of where the Lord wanted you to go?
When did you start deputation? What percent of your support have you raised? How long do you anticipate your deputation will take?
Define your burden and vision. In other words what do you see your mission work to be? As of now, give a brief overview of what you anticipate the first five years on the mission field to be? ..i.e. What will be the first order of business? What activities do you anticipate will consume your time? What will be your primary focus? Give an overview of where you hope to be in 10 years. Be specific.
What involvement has your pastor held in your ministry since you surrendered to the mission field? Does your pastor feel you are ready to go to the mission field? If no, give details. Has he suggested additional training, schooling, support, or the need for more maturity? If so give details.
What is your philosophy regarding evangelism? Define repentance and conviction as well as defining their role in salvation. Is there one group of Independent Baptists that would best identify your philosophy of evangelism? Define “easy believism”.
Give your position regarding the King James 1611 Bible? Do you believe the King James 1611 Bible is error free? Do you believe there are passages that could be translated more correctly?
Check each statement you agree with regarding godly dress
*
Required
Males wear pants at all times, and females wear dresses, no exception.
Males wear pants, and females wear dresses most of the time. When immodesty becomes an issue with certain activities, then there can be exceptions.
The Bible only dictates modest, moderate, and gender specific dress, and anything other than this is legalism
As long as the thigh is covered then short pants are acceptable for both men and women?
God looks on the heart, and is not concerned with the outside
In my opinion, pants designed specifically for women are gender specific clothing
Check the statement that best describes your spouse’s attitude towards God’s call to missions.
*
She is excited and perhaps more excited than myself
She is apprehensive, but willingly submissive and obedient to God’s call
She has her good days and bad
She is struggling, please pray
When I get a church established on the field I plan to:
*
Continue as pastor
Help the church obtain a pastor, and go to another area and start another church
I am not sure
Are you strongly opposed to Calvinism, moderate Calvinism, or do you believe in all 5 points of Calvinism? Do you know what you believe? List what part of TULIP you believe.
Once on the mission field, do you intend to work another job (i.e. be bi-vocational)? Will you have an additional source of income outside of the support of God’s people?
How often do you intend to correspond by prayer letter with your supporting churches? If your stance or answer to any of the above questions were to change will you notify us in writing?
Phone Number
Marital Status & Anniversary
How many hours per week did you average working in your home church prior to starting deputation? Are you still active as a member of your church when you are home?

Are you using a mission board? If yes, which one?

Which best describes your understanding of Biblical repentance?
*
It is a change of mind from unbelief to belief
It is a change of mind about God, sin, you as a sinner, which results in a change of actions
It is the same as faith. In other words, if you have faith you have repented
None of the above
How sure are you of God’s call to the place of your ministry
*
Sure/ 100% Positive
90% Sure
I feel this is where God wants us
I feel this is God’s will for now, but I am not sure about the future
Please check the statement that best describes your understanding of Romans 11:29

I will always be a missionary, but the field may change
Because I am called to the mission field, I will be a missionary, and will be on this field the rest of my life
I am only a missionary till God is through with me, or He changes my calling. I may pastor, evangelize, start a children’s home, or anything else depending on what God wants.
