The
IMB is selective regarding
overseas personnel;
however, all qualified
applicants will be invited
to an ISC/Journeyman
interview conference
as a continuation of
the interview process.
The primary purpose
of the interview conference
is to help the applicant
and the IMB answer two
basic questions: 1)
is God leading me to
serve in international
missions through the
IMB at this time, and
2) if so, where does
God want me to go? Most
applicants attending
conference will be matched
with an overseas assignment,
but some will decide
not to move forward
in the application process.
The interview conference
helps the applicant,
and the IMB, to make
better decisions about
future overseas service.
The
conference begins on
a Tuesday evening with
dinner, and concludes
on the following Friday
afternoon. Participants
should anticipate arrival
in Richmond on Tuesday
early enough to arrive
at ILC for dinner at
5:00 PM. Departure is
generally on Saturday,
though in some case
participants stay over
to Sunday morning in
order to take advantage
of significant airline
discounts.
The
actual cost of transportation,
meals and housing expenses
for the meeting will
be provided.
The
conference program,
conducted by members
of the IMB staff, is
designed to provide
information about the
ISC, Journeyman and
Masters Programs and
current job requests
overseas. Participants
will be asked to identify
job preferences at this
time.
