Income for these purposes includes, but is not limited to, salary, housing allowance, utilities paid by World Missions Ministries, and honoraria. In addition to the tithe, missionaries are expected to support additional essential ministry through voluntary designated giving.” I thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

The Chairman called the World Missions Ministries <strong>Council</strong> to order at 9:20 a.m. In his opening remarks, Bishop Gardner thanked <strong>Council</strong> members for their support of World Missions Ministries and for coming to South Africa to witness first-hand the Centennial Celebration of IPHC’s ministry influence in South Africa. He also welcomed Max Barroso, Director of The Awakening; Joe Delport, Regional Director of Southern Africa; and Ron Wooten, Regional Director of Eastern Africa, to this session of the WMM <strong>Council</strong>. The Chairman concluded his remarks by thanking Rev. Ernest Turner, WMM Continental Director for Africa, for hosting this <strong>Council</strong> session at the Africa Development Center and for everything he had done to make the Centennial Celebration a success, in addition to hosting those who traveled from around the world to be part of the historic event. Bishop Gardner then called the <strong>Council</strong> to a time of prayer. He asked <strong>Council</strong> members to remember fellow <strong>Council</strong> member Keith Gilliam and his family in their prayers, and to ask the Lord for wisdom and direction as they meet with the Dunnings, who are career lay missionary candidates, and consider the reassignment of the Akermans and Ramseys, who are current career missionaries. Bishop Gardner thanked the Lord for his faithfulness in enabling Charles Craig to make the trip to South Africa and be a part of this session after having to miss the previous session to undergo a successful knee replacement surgery. He also expressed thanks for the faithfulness and provision of finances to fund the vision and ministries of WMM in 2012. The Chairman asked Preston Mathena to begin the prayer, to be followed by a time of specific intercession for each continent as directed by Danny Nelson, Dean Morgan, Wayne Kirby, and Matt Bennett, with a concluding prayer by Bishop Gardner.
