Converge welcomed 13 missionary candidates to its Missionary Discovery & Assessment in Orlando, Florida, October 18-21. This candidate group include people interested in our [IM]PACT Residency and in long-term service, both in the United States and abroad.

Missionary Discovery & Assessment is a Spirit-led time for candidates to discover more about God, themselves, others and their call to ministry. During the three-and-a-half days, Converge assessors evaluated the candidates for spiritual, emotional and relational health and suitability for serving cross-culturally worldwide.

• 12 candidates received a “Go,” which means they are ready to serve in cross-cultural ministry with some recommended preparation.
• One candidate received a “Stay.” This candidate was given some extensive next-steps and an open door to come back through the assessment process once the recommended actions were completed.

The group of candidates includes a woman who currently serves as U.S.-based Converge global worker in diaspora ministries but desires to serve with her husband overseas.

We are asking God for a gospel movement among every least reached people group ― in our generation. To see God accomplish this vision, we are preparing to deploy more than 350 global workers over the next five years.
