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

God called me to the mission field and to working with children in many ways throughout my life. The earliest memory I have of this calling is the passion for sending Christmas Shoeboxes to kids around the world. Once I moved to college, I participated in a missions training program called the HEART Village. After completing the program, I felt like God was leading me to more. The summer b
efore my senior year of college I took a six-week trip with WGM to Bolivia. I spent time volunteering at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center (SCCLC) and seeing what life was like on the mission field.
These combined experiences led to a commitment to serving long-term globally, first in a classroom and now in discipleship ministry. The Lord continues to call me closer to Him.
God has given me a passion for listening to others and helping them walk closer to Him through discipleship. In Paraguay, only 8% of the population is evangelical Christians. Within our WGM national church, eight church congregations and their pastors need our encouragement and support. I hope to encourage people in Paraguay and help them as they discover their personal calling and grow closer in their relationship with the Lord.

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.
