Mobilising and Training Christian Students in SE Asia for Mission

Job Description

You will teach at a local seminary. Your special focus will be mobilizing and equipping students for mission to unreached peoples. You will have opportunities to reach out to unreached peoples yourself.

Responsibilities

In your first one to two years, your focus will be language study and orientation; during which time you will be introduced to culture, language, religion, professional service, and the local churches. You will also have the opportunity to get to know future colleagues and to reach out to those that do not follow Jesus, learning about the struggles and difficulties that come with such a ministry.

After language and orientation, you will move to the target location (seminary), being part of the local/regional mobilization team.

You will be involved in both classroom teaching, and also less formal discipleship, coming alongside the students in their struggles and formation. The example of your own life will be very important. Therefore, you will be encouraged not only to prioritise holiness, but also to be active in reaching out to unreached people yourself.

You will also have opportunities to work in training, literature and resource work beyond the campus. In time, you may move to other cities or do seminars with other like-minded groups, e.g. non-theological students
