Deputation noun

1. the act of appointing a person or persons to represent or act for another or others.
2. the person or body of persons so appointed or authorized.

In missions circles this word is also used to define the period of time after your appointment to service by a sending organization in which the necessary funds are raised for one to begin their objective and while this is the stage in which I find myself, this defintion really makes no sense to me and for that reason I prefer to use the term support raising, or the more vague term development.

I have been re-appointed by Avant Ministries to the Malaga Media Center and while I cannot say exactly when I will be back working in Europe, I am going to do everything in my power to make it happen in January. That said, I’ve only been at it for a week and I already have over half the support that I will be needing. With patience and perservervance the depuation process will go quite quickly.
