Profile 
A missionary worker feels called to pass on God's Word to people who are not or hardly familiar with it on the work fields in South Africa. He passes on the Biblical message to them in all simplicity, praying if the Lord will bless that spoken word. This happens both during (evangelistic) meetings and during personal contact. The missionary worker is permitted to do this because of his appointment by the Deputation for Missions and Evangelization (DZE), which has been given the authority to appoint missionary workers by the synod of the Gereformeerde Gemeenten in Nederland. The explanation of God's Word will always go hand in hand with a compassionate, pastoral willingness to help and with mercy towards one's neighbour. The missionary worker is part of the team of field workers and missionary workers, led by the General Manager, and contributes to this team, among other things, by thinking together about the way in which the propagation of the Biblical message can be carried out in line with our mission.
