Kinds of Changes in Deputation Schedules

There are several reasons for Deputation Schedules to change:

1. The missionary has raised his budget and is ready to go back to the mission field!
2. The missionary needs to go back to the field temporarily
3. The missionary is on medical or other leave
4. Global Missions Division has made a change for some other reason

These changes cause changes in the appointments / services scheduled.  

This graphic showns how these changes are processed:

The following may be the result from such changes: 

1. Headquarters, Global Missions Division will replace the outgoing missionary with another deputizing missionary, often a missionary just starting or about to start deputation.
2. Global Missions Division cancels the schedule, but the DGMD salvages it by replacing the outgoing missionary in at the Macro Schedule level, thereby replacing the missionary in all of the related services.
3. If neither of the above are possible, the DGMD can place the affected Macro Schedules into an “Open Pool” available to Associate Missionaries and AIM Workers.  This function is still under development.
