We have a number of exciting opportunities to spend a year abroad, working within a local church. Using the 9:38 model, these will be: "placements with evangelical churches, normally incorporating practical service, Word ministry and some formal training. They provide the opportunity to 'test the water' of going into paid ministry in the long-term and as a precursor to more formal theological training." [www.ninethirtyeight.org]
Of course, at the same time you’ll be part of a new culture, meet new people and experience God’s work and His church in a different part of the world.
Presently, we have opportunities in Kenya and South Africa as well as the possibility of China. The duration would be between 10-12 months ideally, and costs will vary dependent on location. The idea is that costs of placements are met between you and your church, but this is something that can be discussed further. These placements would ideally suit people who already have some ministry experience. If you would like some more information, and an application form then please download this form (pdf), fill in your details, and post to the stated address.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
