Engaging the next generation of workers
Calvin Tiessen will provide EMC with a portion of his time to dedicate to recruitment, training, placement and retention of EMC missionaries, church planters and pastors. Calvin is an experienced cross-cultural worker currently on home assignment.
Does the EMC have a recruitment crisis?
In the next ten years, 21 missionary units will reach retirement age (or have already). Yet, in the last ten years, 18 missionary units have been accepted by the BOM. According to these numbers, recruitment will not keep pace with existing personnel, let alone allow for expansion.
