Envision: Partner with Local Believers to Expand the Kingdom of God in Indonesia
As part of a team, the new worker(s) will be expected to take shared responsibility in hosting short-term teams and interns, building relational outreach, and participating in discipleship. They will be involved in hosting, mentoring, partnering, and leadership development. They will also introduce interns and teams to a variety of ministry opportunities in agriculture, ESL, sports, human trafficking, trash clean up, orphanages, prisons, connecting with unwed teen mothers, and local church ministry. Any new workers with skills/gifts/interests in areas that align with CAMA or aXcess would be ideal as we connect them to all the creative ways God is at work in Indonesia.

Characteristics of International Workers:
- Spiritual maturity

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 will receive one year of intensive Indonesian followed by a second year of tutoring if needed. The first year is primarily one of dedication to learning the language, but it is also only the beginning of what will be a life-long process of acquisition. Knowing the local language will enhance the ability to minister and effectively reach people for Christ.
Health Considerations:
Most medications are available at local pharmacies but require a prescription. Hospitals provide an adequate but inconsistent level of care for routine issues. Better care is available in Jakarta, but for the most part still doesn’t meet international standards. That level of care is available in the neighboring countries of either Singapore, Thailand, or Malaysia––all of which are reachable by a short flight.
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.
Spouses are considered equal partners on the team and must share a clear calling to cross-cultural ministry and life. The couple/single will be expected to get involved in hosting, discipling, and mentoring.
Children’s Education:
Elementary schools are available in Indonesian or English/Indonesian instruction. Junior and senior high students can consider one of two international schools in Bandung, as well as a boarding option in Penang, Malaysia. Homeschooling is available for all grade levels.
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.
