Job # 92855 (Sports/Recreation Ministry)
Length of assignment: two years

We are looking for creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to join us on a new postmodern church planting team in Marseille, France. Our heart is for the forgotten people group known as the French, who for over 200 years have been without a relevant presentation of the Gospel.

Specifically, we will be reaching out to those between the ages of 18-35. Our goal is start the kind of church we personally would want to be involved in. For us this means a Jesus-centered community that is committed to living out its faith in a holistic and incarnational way.

If you are passionate about relational evangelism, community based teams and doing the hard work of sowing, then ministry amongst the post-Christian French population may be the place for you!

Hands On: University Ministry (Spain)
Job # 89338 (University Ministry)
Aug. 1, 2009-Jan. 15, 2010

The most effective way to reach students in Spain is through friendship evangelism. There is a program that allows students to come as a "visiting student," where you are enrolled in university classes and can live in a university dorm.

You will be able to interact with students on a continual basis. Our vision is that the students would take the gospel back to their hometowns, many of which have little or no evangelical witness.
