Responsibilities: 

Ministry Location Information: 

This gulf city is quite affluent and very busy. Most residents are not citizens. There are good schooling, health-care, entertainment and shopping options. American brands and restaurant chains are everywhere. English is widely spoken. Summers are oppresively hot, so much ministry happens in the evenings (and there is 24-hour electricity).  

Characteristics of International Workers: 

Required Qualifications: 

Vocational Track  

Clergy (Consecration & Ordination) Track  

Both Vocational and Clergy Tracks 

Preferred Qualifications: 

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. 

Existing knowledge of Arabic is preferred in order to better network with locals; otherwise, international workers will attend university or institutes in their first term to gain a linguistic basis. Fluency is not expected in the end.   

Health Considerations: 

Health care is world-class. The heat is difficult, but it is otherwise a very comfortable city. 

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 many private international day schools as well as homeschoolling. Boarding school is an option for high school.

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.
