Responsibilities: 

Required Qualifications: 

Clergy Track 

Preferred Qualifications: 

Biblical Characteristics Desired: 

Timeline for Deployment: 

Summer/fall 2027. All appointees are required to attend a cross-cultural and language acquisition program and pre-field course/experience prior to deploying. 

General Information: 

Living conditions in this area are modern with access to many conveniences and amenities, though in some areas the infrastructure is underdeveloped. The local people group are warm, friendly, and hospitable. Most of the population is of the majority religion, but there is a small influential Christian minority. Women enjoy greater freedoms than many of their counterparts in other Middle Eastern nations but have more restrictions than typically enjoyed in the West. Owing to the ongoing war, new workers should demonstrate higher levels of flexibility and resilience as the situation remains unpredictable. 

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. 

International workers in this country usually need two years of intensive full-time language study and cultural orientation followed by an additional two years of part-time study. Language learners typically study with tutors in group or individually and with language helpers privately. Some local courses and programs are available, but most learning is self-directed individually or in small groups. 

Health Considerations: 

Healthcare is considered very good, and doctors are generally well-trained. Emergency services are readily available. Little provision is made for people with disabilities, especially in the Arab sector. Most medications are readily available. 

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. 

For married couples, the spouse is expected to study language full time for two years. Ministry assignments will be determined prayerfully and in dialogue with the team, branch, and field leadership. 

Children’s Educational Plan and Options: 

Many of the best schools are private Christian schools, with many schools offering instruction in English, Arabic, and a European language. Home schooling is an option for families after both parents have completed language study. Black Forest Academy in Germany is another option that has been used by some staff as an alternative to local high school education.

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.
