During the first days of campmeeting---
President Bosworth will ask, "What happens here next Monday?"
The crowd roars in response, "Missionary Day!"
The excitement and anticipation build as Monday approaches. We can hardly wait for Missionary Day to arrive.
In all the services on Monday the missionaries from World Gospel Mission share their hearts and ministries with us.
It is our firm conviction that Taylor County Camp Meeting should be worldwide in its outreach. Since the first encampment in 1939, Taylor County has been sending missionaries and Christian workers to the far corners of the world and faithfully providing prayer and financial support for these sent ones.
Meet our Missionaries for 2024
Stephen and Bethany Taylor
Stephen and Bethany serve in a local church part-time as youth pastors while also having other responsibilities. Bethany has her own cleaning service, and Stephen serves at a faith-based homeless shelter in Xenia, Ohio.
Now God is calling them to serve on the mission field, and although they don’t know exactly what that will look like, they are ready and willing to find out!
They have been married about two and a half years and growing in it each day. The Lord has been so good to them on so many levels, and this call is just another reminder of how big He is.

Holly Muehleisen
Although I grew up in East Africa as the daughter of WGM missionaries, I never imagined that I would one day be called to be a missionary myself. When I first received my call while I was a college senior, I knew that God had begun a new thing and that I wouldn’t be going back to Africa as a missionary. But I still wasn’t sure where I would end up.
It wasn’t until I was a seminary student that God began to put the Japanese people on my heart. Several of the other students taking classes, including two of the other women in the dormitory, were Japanese. It was through hearing the burden these two shared for their own people that God began to tug at my heart as well.
For two years, I served as a missionary disciple in Japan, teaching English; working with children, youth, and college-age students; and learning Japanese. Now, as a career missionary with WGM, I am involved in church ministries, teaching Fun Fun English to children, and sharing the life-giving message of the gospel with Japanese young people.
