Ike Agawin
ServeBeyond Director
Ike serves as ServeBeyond Director of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada International Mission. He provides direction, oversight and support to all ServeBeyond ministries to facilitate the implementation of the vision and the fulfillment of the mission of EFCC. The name Ike means ‘He Will Laugh’ and that is an apt description of Ike that the office can attest to.
International Mission Committee (IMC)
The International Mission Committee (IMC) is a crucial part of the ServeBeyond team. As a committee of the EFCC Board of Directors, its primary responsibilities are to:
- give input into ServeBeyond’s budgeting process
- monitor our international work through the reports received from all personnel
- ensure that our projects and personnel are in compliance with our organisation’s established policies
- make policy recommendations to the EFCC Board of Directors.
