The Application Process involves several steps. The goal is to discern whether you and service in Africa with S.M.A. are a good “fit” as a particular way of living out God’s universal call to mission. Therefore there is a process of getting to know one another and providing information to one another. It is also about the intangible sense of whether or not you might be happy and peaceful in African mission with S.M.A..

Deadlines: For acceptance into the September Formation Program, we ask that people normally submit their Application by May 1 for September admission.
