​​​​DIRECTIVES OF RECOMMENDING A CANDIDATE FOR LICENSING

​

There are two categories of recommendation of a Candidate who is saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled with the evidence of speaking in tongue and after 2 years at the present home church with pastoral observation:

• Deaconess Missionaries are women who have been observed by her Pastor for a minimum of 2 years and are saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled with the evidence of speaking tongue and whose ministry involvement is within her local church.  However, with the permission of her pastor, her ministry may be extended beyond the local church, in which case, an Evangelist Missionary accompanies her.  She must study the Word of God, seek training through Institute classes, Bible Studies, college, etc.  This level of preparation will equip her for effective ministry.  After a minimum of two years of dedicated service as a Licensed Deaconess Missionary, she may then become a Candidate for the Evangelist Missionary License (to attend the class) with the recommendation of her pastor.  The role of a Deaconess Missionary is not to be confused with that of a Deaconess in the local church.​​

• Evangelist Missionaries are women who have been observed by her Pastor for a minimum of 2 years as a Deaconess Missionary and are saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled with the evidence of speaking tongue, qualified, and available to minister beyond the local church.  Her experience and knowledge should enable her to effectively, and accurately, proclaim the Word of God in soul-winning crusades and wherever a door of opportunity is opened.

The International Department of Women Licensing Procedure for Missionaries is now internationally standardized, and nothing can be omitted or changed (additions are encouraged) as these licenses are through the International not the Jurisdictional church.  All requirements, including attendance at every one of the 8 classes, must be adhered to in order to proceed to the examinations.   It is crucial that the character of those recommended be in compliance with the efforts of our International Church and this Jurisdiction in particular.
