Responsibilities: 

Ministry Location Information: 

Our region is a beautiful place to live, rich in history and culture. The host nation for this position is 99.9 percent majority religion, although religious diversity is tolerated. Living conditions are decent. There are supermarkets, online stores, and Western-style restaurants. Certain products are difficult to find or are lacking in quality. 

Characteristics of International Workers: 

Required Qualifications: 

Clergy (Consecration & Ordination) Track    

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. 

Proficiency and fluency in the French language is required. Those without French will attend a formal French language school in France. 

Health Considerations: 

Medical care is close to the same as that of the U.S., although there are some obscure medications that are not available in the country. 

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 French or 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.
