The Process:

1) Fill out the deputation request form.  If you have any doubts as to whether a specific item/purchase is a valid use of deputation funds, please check before spending the money.  Inappropriate expenses will not be approved or refunded.

2) Send the form and the receipts to your Field Strategy Coordinator (FSC) for approval.  When your FSC approves the purchase he will forward the form to the regional office.

3) Once approved at region, the form will be sent to World Mission for processing.  You will receive the funds in your salary the month after the deputation form is received by the regional office.  For example, if your deputation form arrives at the regional office anytime between 1 and 31 July, you’ll receive the deputation funds with your August salary. 

Where do I get a deputation form?

Click on Deputation Preapproval and Expense Report form.

Don’t forget:

The deputation request must be sent to your FSC and then it will be forwarded to the regional office.  Be sure to allow sufficient time for processing, especially toward the end of the month.

If you have a big expense coming up, plan ahead and send in the form for pre-approval so the funds are already in your account when you are ready to make the purchase.

Deputation funds are not personal; anything purchased with these funds belongs to the church and must be sold or left behind when moving or leaving the field.

Be sure to be timely in submitting your deputation requests as World Mission will no longer process requests with invoices older than 60 days.
