• Short-Term Minister Abroad (STMA)  Serving up to 6 months on the field
  An STMA assignment is designed to complement the work of career missionaries. An individual with ministerial credentials may be led to share expertise from years of ministry experience. Ministry abroad must be properly planned with an invitation from a missionary or field fellowship and approval from the area director. Each ministry trip is arranged through AGWM.
  
• Career Missionary  Serving 3 - 4 year terms on the field
  An "Appointed General" missionary has a proven stateside ministry and believes God's call is for a life-time of overseas missionary service. This missionary category is involved in general missionary work--evangelism, mentoring, church planting, construction, Bible school ministry and assisting the national church in developing pastors and leaders. Although each missionary has unique gifts, abilities and training, specific qualifications are required.
