AGORA Ministries · Missions Reference
AGUSM at a glance.
One page for the latest AG U.S. Missions updates — what’s happening, when it’s happening, who to contact, and what’s required. Compiled with gratitude for the AGUSM team and the work they coordinate across the country.
This is an unofficial site — for reference purposes only.
This page is not an official Assemblies of God or AG U.S. Missions site.
It simply gathers information in one place to help AGUSM missionaries find it more easily.

Overseas travel approval.
Because of the partnership between AG U.S. Missions and AG World Missions, all overseas travel must be approved in advance — for your protection and for liability purposes. Plan ahead and submit your request before making arrangements.
Who can requestYou must NOT be in candidate or fundraising status.
Time limitContinuous overseas service may not exceed 120 days in any 12-month period.
Non-AG entitiesTravel with non-AG organizations still requires AGWM acknowledgment/approval.
Your request letter to Dwight must include
- Reason for travel
- Anticipated travel dates
- Amount of funds needed
- How funds will be raised
- Coverage for your ministry during your absence
- Proof of Missions Assure Insurance
- Copy of the invitation letter from the AGWM missionary or regional director
- Completed overseas travel form (online)
What happens after you submit
- Dwight reviews your ministry and account status
- Dwight coordinates with the AGWM regional director
- U.S. Missions Executive Committee approval is sought
- You’re notified of the final decision
Plan ahead: approval involves Dwight, the AGWM regional director,
and the U.S. Missions Executive Committee, so build generous lead time into any overseas
plans.
