A few reminders for you about this new Care and Connection model.

 1.      Each district will have one Global Deployed missionary in addition to any SENT missionaries from their district. That means some districts may have multiple missionaries but only this assignment is the Links assignment. The SENT missionaries are connected through the Care and Connection emphasis and do not follow the Links schedule.

2.      Each missionary and district are expected to pray for each other, connect and share updates, and invite missionaries to speak on deputation.

3.      This assignment will be effective until December 31, 2024.

4.      All financial gifts will be processed into missionary deputation accounts. Deputation gifts are meant to be used for their ministry and personal needs such as education expenses, health care, and retirement. If you would like to give a personal gift to be used for other purposes those will need to be facilitated between the missionary and the individual/church. All US tax laws need to be followed and is the responsibility of the giver.
