Global Worker Mobilization Coordinator - Regional Hub

We believe that at least 1% of the global body of Christ is called and gifted by God for involvement in ministry beyond their own people, requiring the crossing of boundaries. These may include ethnic, linguistic, social, cultural, national, and religious boundaries to make Christ known, call people to repentance and faith, help them grow as disciples, establish local churches, and train leaders for the churches.  

The Global Worker Mobilization Coordinator will lead a team that seeks to steward the conditions that the Holy Spirit uses to call and send missionaries. Stewarding these conditions often include mentoring leaders of churches and denominations to develop a missional culture in the national church, teaching/preaching mission messages, providing mission conferences for churches or groups of pastors/leaders, networking and building coalitions of mission-minded entities, creating short-term mission opportunities, and organizing vision trip opportunities for leaders and/or potential missionaries. The GWM Coordinator will work with the national church or national ministries to design and/or provide missionary training for involvement in cross-cultural ministry. The role will assist partners around the globe to engage in God’s missionary movement and may also include helping to develop new OMS signatories. 

The Global Worker Mobilization Team will work closely with the other OMS ministry element teams to ensure that God’s mission to all peoples is built into the DNA of all our ministry efforts. This role is available in the Latin American-Caribbean and Asia-Pacific Regional (in South Korea) Hubs.
