Fieldworkers

ICMDA has over 60 volunteer fieldworkers, all of whom are ‘tentmakers’ in that, like the apostle Paul (Acts 18:1-4), they support themselves in their ministry through their paid employment.

We have four different appointments: Associate Executive Officers (AEO), Regional Secretaries (RS), Regional Representatives (RR) and Area Representatives (AR).

Associate Executive Officers

An AEO promotes the mission and vision of ICMDA among students and junior graduates across multiple regions. An AEO supports an RS in the selection, leadership development/training and support of RRs and ARs in a given region.

An RS appoints and manages Regional and Area Representatives within their region.
