We
have a number of applicants
that do not move ahead
in the process, either
by their choice or ours,
either before conference
or after, so we wanted
to outline a general
procedure for getting
back into the interview
process.
First
of all, there were likely
some issues that needed
resolution, so during
the delay, the applicant
will have worked through
the issue(s) and at
the right time will
report appropriately
to the ISC/Journeyman
team.
Medical
delays are handled through
our medical office,
and they will inform
the ISC/Journeyman team
that the medical issues
have been resolved.
At
the appropriate time,
the applicant should
follow these steps::
-
The
missionary applicant
contacts the ISC/Journeyman
team. We will then
reset the online information
form so you may update
your basic information.
-
A team assistant will
review the materials
to see what has been
added to the file
since the beginning
of the delay; i.e.,
medical reports, counseling
reports, letters of
clarification, interview
or phone call notes.
-
A team consultant
will review your materials
to determine the next
few steps and see
if there is needed
information.
-
Generally, we will
need only an update
to your autobiography,
to include from where
you previously left
off until the current
time. Include what
you have been doing
during the delay:
vocationally, educationally,
ministerially and
socially.
-
We will sometimes
need a new set of
references if it has
been a significant
period of time since
last application,
or there has been
a move, or perhaps
previous references
indicated deficiencies
which confirmed that
overseas service was
too great a risk at
that time.
-
If an applicant is
in a new church, a
new recommendation
will be required.
-
A new statement of
Christian beliefs
will not be needed
unless the first statement
needed clarification
or elaboration.
-
If it has been years
since you attended
interview conference,
another conference
will likely be required.
