Ethel was appointed as an IPHC missionary in March 1960, with an assignment to South Africa. During her time there, Ethel served in multiple roles, such as secretary to the general supervisor for Africa, Rev. Duncan. She lived in Krugersdorp and, each weekday, worked at the headquarters for the Pentecostal Holiness Church there in South Africa. In addition to her secretarial work for Rev. Duncan, she was the secretary treasurer at Freeman Bible College and assisted other missionaries in the IPHC, as needed.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Swart also served as the missionary advisor in the Southwestern Conference. In this role, she assisted the Women\u2019s Auxiliary Board with editing, typing, processing convention reports, and duplicating convention minutes.<\/p>\n
