First of all, do I qualify?

A missionary candidate with NCEM must be:

• a committed believer in Jesus Christ.
• aware of God's call upon his/her life
• physically, mentally and spiritually stable
• a graduate of a recognized Bible school (exceptions to this requirement will be considered)
• teachable and prepared to adapt to another culture.

STEP #1 ... tell us

Write or call us, telling us of your interest. Informative literature will be sent to you along with answers to questions you may ask. Continue to pray, asking the Lord for His guidance in your future. If possible, talk to an NCEM missionary in person.

STEP #2 ... forms, forms, forms!

Should your interest in NCEM continue, and you are in agreement and supportive of NCEM's Mandate, Vision, and Statement of Faith, write or call again and ask for a formal application. These forms request: information about yourself, a doctrinal statement, a list of references, and a medical report.

STEP #3 ... an interview

When application papers and reference forms have been received and processed, you will be invited to NCEM's Headquarters in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, for a personal interview with our Executive Committee. You should be prepared to answer any questions that may have arisen from your application, doctrinal and reference forms. You will be given opportunity to ask questions of the NCEM Executive. The Committee will make a decision concerning your acceptance.

STEP #4 ... building a team

Upon your acceptance you will be officially welcomed into the NCEM family. Then our Personnel Coordinator will begin preparing you for your deputation. Your next months will include: sending out personal newsletters and prayer cards, and traveling to visit churches, relatives and friends who may wish to be part of your support team. 80% of your allotted monthly allowance should be coming in before you begin your ministry assignment.

STEP #5 ... am I ready yet?

Almost! You will be required to participate in a training program designed especially for preparing you for First Nations ministry.

STEP #6 ... pack your belongings

... and go! Your missionary assignment awaits you.
