MISSIONARY APPLICATION

Before the conference, we have 2 “get-togethers”. A men's breakfast and a woman's morning coffee. The details of this (when and where) will be found HERE, once available.

The main event will be from Sunday, July 21, and go till the last night on Wednesday, July 24. This year’s event will be at Waldheim MB Church, in Waldheim, Saskatchewan.

The conference takes place during the evenings, and we ask missionaries and agency reps to arrive in advance.  To give you an idea of how the evenings are structured, see the tentative schedule HERE.

If you are simply wanting to attend, there is no registration required, and there is no charge to attend!

We are thrilled that you wish to present the good work that you do in expanding God's kingdom!

Basic Info:

• There is no charge to present.

• Although there is no deadline to register, spaces to present are limited, so we suggest that you apply as soon as possible.

• Presentation time will be set to 7 minutes, so we ask that you are prepared for that timeframe.

Presentation to include: 

• • A brief summary of the ministry, and

  • A “project” which is typically an immediate need of the missionary/ministry.

Each request to present will be reviewed by the Conference Board in the following monthly meeting.

Preference will be given to those who meet all/or as many of the criteria below:

• • Their ministry includes the preaching of the Gospel.

  • They were born and/or raised in the Sask Valley Area.

  • They are members of a church that is located in the Sask Valley area.

  • They work in a cross-cultural environment.

  • They serve overseas (outside of Canada) on a long-term basis.

  • They belong to a reputable Christian missions sending agency.

  • They will be in the area during the conference dates.

  • They are willing and able to attend the conference.

  • They are able to pay their way to the conference (gas, food, hotel).

The conference provides several key opportunities for missionaries: 

A) Exposure in the local Christian community.

B) To meet those who pray for missions.

C) To inform and impact our Christian youth for ministry. 

D) To present a small, one-time project that people can pray for and give towards financially.

Therefore, it is expected that the visiting missionaries would make an effort to meet local believers, build relationships in the area, and be in attendance all four evenings.

As mentioned above, there is no charge to attend the conference and no cost for agencies to promote. We go into each conference by faith, trusting that God will provide. Since its inception, the conference has always seen God provide, as God’s people give, often sacrificially, their time, talents, and treasure to missionary endeavors. Because of this, we are unable to pay travel expenses for any missionaries or agency reps.

Each night of the conference we have an offering, and at the end of the conference, once all the offering money is collected and expenses are paid, the remaining offering is divided up between the missionary projects, leaving a small amount in the bank account to cover expenses until the next year (usually $100 - $200). 

As a guideline, missionary projects should not exceed $3000. The conference board does not and cannot guarantee any set amount will be raised.

The WMC requires project money to be channeled through a registered mission agency that will provide accountability as required by Canadian charitable law.

Waldheim is a small community in Central Saskatchewan with approximately 1000 inhabitants.

Although there is a coffee house and restaurant in Waldheim, there are no hotels in the community. The closest towns with hotels and other restaurants are Rosthern (28 km away), Blaine Lake (36 km away), Martensville (38 km away), Warman (41 km away), and Saskatoon (54 km away).

If you need assistance with arrangements or would like to stay at the home of fellow believers, please let us know in advance, and we will ask on your behalf in the local churches.

From the outset, the conference has been intended and designed to encourage, to support, and to send missionaries who are from the Sask Valley area (between the North & South Saskatchewan rivers, from Saskatoon in the South up to Prince Albert in the North).
