Updated Manual
We have recently updated the Missionary Procedures Manual, in order to include changes that have taken place over the past few years. Most of these changes have been published individually in Headquarter Happenings over time. The current version of the manual is now available in SecureCloud, under the Forms and Manuals section. If you have any questions please contact Naomi Torberson.
Direct Line Ministries
DirectLine Ministry was started in 1999 by Paul and Debbie Deem his response to his burden for helping missionaries to receive church planting materials in foreign countries.
He writes:
“DirectLine Ministry now has a team of 10 couples and has sent thousands of Bibles and materials to 20 different countries including: the Philippines, Mexico, Honduras, remote Islands in the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, parts of Africa, India, and Chile.
Here are just a few of the donated items we have shipped to missionaries and national pastors: appliances, hymnals, pulpits, sound equipment, food, hygiene items, new toys, new clothing, teaching materials. Most importantly, we have shipped thousands of Bibles and millions of Scripture booklets and tracts!”
If your ministry could benefit from these services, please contact their office via phone (740-667-6166) or email ([email protected]).
