From Pastor Bill Pfaunmiller
Dear Fellow Christian Servant,
I want you to know clearly from the outset that we are interested in your work and appreciate you taking the time to consider our questions. We understand how busy you must be and how anxious you are to reach your goals for God’s glory.
The mission challenge is greater than it has ever been and I believe God’s Word is still sufficient to do His Work. Recently I was challenged by a missionary friend to have some way to assist me as I work through potential missionaries for our church to support.
You see, we receive 5-10 emails, phone calls, and missions packets a week. I do not want to ignore them, but it is difficult to evaluate potential missionaries effectively from the plethora of information. Therefore we have established the following brief questionnaire to be filled out by all who wish to present at Mountain View. Please understand, this does not guarantee that we will ask you to present, but this does give you a door of communication with us.
I wish to be forthright before you take the time to fill out the answers. My practice is to schedule any of our current missionaries first. So, if they come back to the states, they receive first priority. Then, for any new missionaries seeking to raise support I typically schedule 6-12 months in advance. With the current schedule we establish as a church, this essentially means we will have 2-3 new missionaries present a year. Of those 2-3 missionaries a year we historically only take on a new missionary every other year. I do not wish this to be a discouragement to you, I do wish this to help you as you seek to schedule a meeting.
Once your questionnaire is received, my staff and I will review it, and reply with an answer within 14 days.
God bless you as you seek His will for His glory! May He give you the desires of your heart.
