This is the only meeting that missionaries are required to
attend.
e. Disciplinary Matters
Disciplinary matters related to missionary status are
handled by the DFM. Causes for disciplinary action with respect
to missionary status include, inter alia: (1) Any conduct
unbecoming to a missionary as a representative of Christ and the
Assemblies of God; (2) loss of ministerial credentials with the
National Church; (3) indiscretions concerning morals; (4) failure
to properly manage and report the use of mission funds; (5) a
declared open change in doctrinal views or practices, resulting
in variance from those of the National Church, or deliberate
variance from the values, purposes, or objectives of DFM; and (6)
a contentious or noncooperative spirit.
The DFM has no authority to recall a missionary's
ministerial credentials. The most severe form of discipline that
the DFM can exercise is to withdraw its endorsement of, and
effectively disassociate itself from, a missionary. In the event
that the DFM withdraws an endorsement, the DFM notifies the
missionary's district, closes the missionary's account, and
returns to the donors any future offerings received on behalf of
the missionary.
