The primary purpose of World Missions Ministries of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church is to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. This includes:

• the proclamation of the gospel and the conversion of the lost to Jesus Christ.
  
• the planting of indigenous churches.
  
• the equipping of spiritual leaders of these churches.
  
• the incorporation of these indigenous churches into one worldwide fellowship.
  
• the expansion of the Pentecostal revival throughout the body of Christ.
  
  

World Missions operates under the auspices of the General Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. The flow of authority is from the General Conference to the General Board of Administration to the General Executive Board to the World Missions Board.

The chairman of the World Missions Board is the executive director of World Missions. Under the executive director, there are two administrative staffs: one in the United States and one overseas. The United States administrative staff is composed of an assistant director, director of People to People and Missionary Itineration, a director of Development and Publications.

The overseas administrative staff is composed of four Overseas Ministry Coordinators, one each for Africa, Asia, Europe/Middle East, and Latin America/West Indies, as well as a Regional Ministry Coordinator for most of our mission fields. The Overseas Ministry Coordinators answer directly to the executive director and the World Missions Board. Regional Ministry Coordinators answer to the Overseas Ministry Coordinators. Missionaries are responsible to the Regional Ministry Coordinator and Overseas Ministry Coordinator.

Composition. The World Missions Board is the board of directors for the ministry. It is composed of the executive director, who is one of the three full-time assistant general superintendents of the denomination, and six additional members, at least one of whom is a layman. Appointments to the board are made quadrennially for a four-year term. The board members are chosen on the basis of a vision and burden for world missions.
The World Missions Board generally meets quarterly with dates being set one year in advance. Board members are not remunerated for their services. Travel expenses to the board meetings are paid.
