MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD December 4, 2012
CERTIFICATION OF MISSIONARIES AND DELEGATES FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
IPHC Executive Committee, Council of Bishops [EC COB] Members,
The IPHC Manual 2009-2013 on page 74, paragraph g (referenced below), specifies that the EC COB
must approve the criteria that the World Missions Ministries Division will use in certifying delegates from
foreign countries and missionaries.
“Missionaries and delegates from foreign countries certified by the World Missions Ministries
Division Council based on criteria approved by the Executive Committee of the Council of
Bishops.”
In November 2012, the World Missions Ministries Division Council [WMMDC] approved criteria relating to
the Certification of Foreign/National IPHC Ministry leaders and IPHC Career Missionaries. That action
was recorded as follows:
FOREIGN NATIONAL DELEGATES
1. The Continental Director [CD] may recommend any pastor to attend and
be seated as a delegate who is able to pay all expenses himself. The CD must be
informed by the pastor that he desires to attend at least 90 days in advance and he will
forward his recommendation to the World Missions office for certification.
2. World Missions Ministries will pay the ground package for one
representative from each country. The CD must be informed at least 90 days in
advance who this representative will be in order to send his recommendation to
the World Missions’ office. (Ground package will include registration, hotel, and an
allowance for meals beginning on Tuesday and concluding at noon on Saturday.)
MISSIONARIES
1. All missionaries on furlough will be expected to attend General
Conference. Expenses will be paid from their account.
2. Missionaries on the field may return for the purpose of attending
General Conference and expenses may be taken out of their account so long as
the expense of the trip does not put their support account in the red.
3. All missionaries will be certified by the World Missions’ office.
Additionally, WMM & CD’s will adhere to the requirements for certification of IPHC credentialed ministers
as mandated in the IPHC Manual 2009-2013 on page 173, Item D. Individuals, paragraph 5 for both
IPHC salaried Missionaries and Foreign/National Leaders:
