The ________ advises the International Executive Council on issues of international concern.

• A. International Council
• B. World Mission Board
• C. State Overseer
• D. District Overseer

Answer: (A)

In church governance, a global advisory body exists to guide the International Executive Council on matters that affect churches worldwide. That body is the International Council, which brings representatives from across the international church to discuss broad international issues, policy, and unity. Its role is to provide informed guidance on concerns that cross borders, helping the IEC make decisions that align with the global church’s direction.

The World Mission Board focuses on mission work and program implementation rather than serving as a broad advisory voice on international concerns. State Overseer and District Overseer operate within their own geographic jurisdictions and don’t have the scope to advise the International Executive Council on international matters.
