Responsibilities: 

Ministry Location Information: 

Working in this creative-access country requires a skill that is of value to the local culture. English is widely spoken throughout the country and is seen as a language of opportunity, making it greatly desired. There are many Western amenities available in the country. There is also much spiritual darkness as the country continually faces political and economic instability. Hope is desperately needed to be shared here. 

Characteristics of International Workers: 

Required Qualifications: 

Vocational Track  

Clergy (Consecration & Ordination) Track  

Both Vocational and Clergy Tracks 

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. 

The main language is a local dialect. International workers in this language group typically receive two years of intensive language and cultural study. Language study will be based on several factors, including experience and qualifications, and will be determined in conversations with the team. 

Health Considerations: 

Private clinics offer most services that are used in America at a reasonable cost. Malaria is not an issue. Most medications found in the U.S. can be obtained at the local pharmacy. While medical services are good, those with special health considerations should contact IPO before applying. 

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

Children’s Education: 

There are several local and international schools available for education in the local language as well as a few English or bilingual options in some areas. 

Compensation Package

The successful applicant(s) will receive a full compensation package with the expectation that, once appointed, efforts will be made to raise a portion of support costs through the applicant’s network of friends, family, local church, or other resources. Information on support costs will be made available upon application. Training and/or coaching in fundraising is available.

Whole-Life Health

As part of an evangelical denomination, we are committed to biblical holism, which is modeled and reflected through our work. Due to this commitment, part of the required qualifications includes optimal emotional, spiritual, and physical health. These will be assessed during the application process.

Important Clarification

Applicant(s) should be aware that serving in the international world often requires a higher degree of grace and flexibility. For example, overseas teams can be suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by illness, government decisions, financial realities, team changes, or other factors beyond the team’s control. The challenge for applicants is that these factors can sometimes necessitate the sudden redefining of a position, which may take place before, during, or after the application/interview process has begun or is completed.
