Missionary assessment process

SEND: CONVERGE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES

Converge utilizes a multi-layered process to assess the spiritual and psychological health, as well as the skills, competencies and fit of a prospective missionary. 

Healthy missionaries and healthy teams produce healthy ministries

At Converge International Ministries we are committed to sending healthy people to serve on healthy teams among unreached peoples around the world. This commitment requires that all missionary candidates go through an assessment process before they are appointed to serve with Converge.
 
Throughout this process you will learn about your personality, temperament, and giftings. You will gain clarity and insight to your personal, spiritual and psychological health. You will discover the skills and competencies necessary for successful cross-cultural work and you will connect with a field leadership to determine the best team fit as you seek to serve God among the nations.

  • How many steps are there in the assessment process?

    After completed an application, a prospective missionary is assessed in 3 stages. 
     
    • Stage 1: Character and Calling – An assessment of your personal, spiritual and psychological health for cross-cultural ministry. 
    • Stage 2: Skills and Competencies – An assessment of your experience and ability to perform the necessary tasks for cross-cultural ministry
    • Stage 3: Field Fit – Connect with field leadership and assess if you are a good fit for that location and team.

  • Who does the assessment?

    All assessments are performed by qualified professionals and/or experienced missionaries within Converge. 

  • Why be assessed?

    The input and recommendations received from the professional assessors can be invaluable in the pursuit of becoming a missionary. This process can help you discover your strengths, areas of growth, uniqueness and gifting to assist in developing a healthy approach to missionary life and ministry. Your local church will also be a part of this journey with you which will provide important discipleship opportunities for you to grow and develop in life and ministry.
