Once all previous steps have been completed, you will be contacted for an interview with your BSM or local Baptist church.

The primary purpose of a local interview is to offer support and encouragement as you seek God’s best for you in exploring mission opportunities. The interview is a chance for you to verbalize your sense of God’s direction and where you are in your personal spiritual growth and ministry. Also, the local committee ensures you meet the qualifications. The interview is not an opportunity to “trap” or “trick” you and keep you from serving, but rather to have another group of people involved in your support.

After completing the above steps, your application file will be reviewed and, if approved, you will be invited to the required Discovery Day for Christmas and Spring or Discovery Weekend for Summer, Impact, and Fall for your state level interview. 

The purpose of Discovery Weekend or Discovery Day is to give you a place to listen and “discover” your next step in missions. You will be in a retreat setting with other students from across Texas who also have a heart for missions. Discovery Weekend will include great worship and teaching times, small group interaction, a mission fair and your individual state level interview. Our goal is to get to know you well so that we can place you in a mission position that is the right next step for you in missions.
