Presbyterian World Mission seeks
candidates for international service
[8-12-08]
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
mission leaders are asking the church to help them identify
qualified candidates for international mission service.
“The General Assembly Council
developed a budget, which in June was approved by the General
Assembly, that enables the church to reverse a 50-year trend of
decline in the number of mission co-workers serving
internationally,” says Hunter Farrell, the church’s director of
World Mission. “We are seeking to increase the number from fewer
than 200 today to 215 in 2009 and 220 in 2010.” Currently, 18
mission positions are posted on the Mission Service Recruitment
office’s Web site [www.pcusa.org/msr].
They are scattered around the world
and call for a variety of skills and gifts. “Both the World Mission
staff and our international partners agree that all these positions
meet critical needs,” Farrell says. “Our partners have been
requesting some of these positions for several years.” The church,
however, lacks candidates for some positions and that is why World
Mission is asking individual Presbyterians to consider their own
call and giftedness for mission service and encourage others to do
likewise, he adds.
“Many times people hear a call to
service after somebody has affirmed their giftedness,” Farrell says.
“I would like Presbyterians to think about individuals who worship
in the pew behind them on Sunday mornings, who serve on the
congregation’s Mission Committee with them, or who work with them on
presbytery projects and in other areas of ministry.”
Some of the openings include:
-A Christian educator/evangelist in the Democratic Republic of Congo
-An English teacher in Indonesia
-A health coordinator in Sudan
-A women’s leadership facilitator in Guatemala
For more information about mission
service, email the Mission Service Recruitment office [msr@pcusa.org]
or call toll-free (888) 728 7228, x2530.
