  6. Welcome! You are now an EPC World Outreach missionary appointee, able to begin building your support team and completing field requirements.
  7. Commissioned. General Assembly is an annual national gathering of Evangelical Presbyterian leaders. Final items needed will be full support pledged, departure information needed by the home office, team coordinator and field team. Once these are done, you are ready to …
  8. GO!
