We assist our missionaries with churches that already support our agency’s missionaries. We encourage missionaries to use tools like ifbmt.info to help them schedule meetings. Ultimately, the missionary is responsible for their schedule. However, we have men who regularly work with our missionaries seeking to get them into meetings where they speak. We also meet weekly with our missionaries to encourage them in their scheduling.
