What is the difference between a deaconess missionary and an aspiring missionary?

Answer 1

1. An Aspiring Missionary is a woman age twenty-one years and over who feels a special call of God. Her life must reflect a Godly image. She must be concerned about the work of prayer, teaching soul-winning etc., feeling the inner call to the service of God. The Aspiring Missionary is observed for at least two years before being recommended for license.
2. A Deaconess Missionary is a licensed missionary whose activities are within the confines of the local church. However, if she is invited to serve outside the confines of the local church, she may do so with the permission of her pastor, but she must be accompanied by her church mother or a qualified missionary. A Deaconess Missionary must study the Word of God as her rule of faith and practice, seeking knowledge from the Higher Power and training through Institute Classes, Bible School, etc. This will better equip her to serve God and His people. It is reommended that after two years of in service training, and being God led, her activities lead to the Evangelist Missionary.
