On Sunday, Nov. 16, at 11 a.m. EST, the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries will commission seven new missionaries for service around the world. The new missionaries come from South Korea, the United States, Paraguay and the Philippines and will be serving in Tanzania, Côte d’Ivoire, Honduras, the United States and Taiwan.
Please keep them in prayer as they complete three weeks of training in Quito, Ecuador, and prepare to be commissioned. Bishop Silvio Cevallos of the Evangelical United Methodist Church will preach at the service. Financial support can be made through the missionaries’ individual bio pages. A video of the worship service will be available in the near future.
