Director of Fundraising

Description

We are seeking a Director of Fundraising for a part-time role at Al Massira International.

We distribute resources for evangelism and discipleship around the word, including Al Massira (The Journey) which is a thirteen episode video series journeying chronologically through the scriptures to present eternal truths in an eastern, community-oriented style, familiar to those from a Muslim worldview culture. As participants are led to an understanding of the person and work of the Messiah in the gospels, Christ becomes the answer to important questions that have been awakened in their hearts and leads them into deeper discipleship.

Al Massira distributes the resources through website download, and through online and offline (SD Card-based) Apps. Al Massira is also developing a second series which explores the themes surrounding the development of the early church, through the Acts of the Apostles. These are themes which are relevant to modern world locations where communities of Jesus’ followers are developing in minority and challenging situations.

Al Massira International (AMI) promotes AM and supports regional teams around the world, who are involved in translation, training and follow up. The team has an administrative office in Wales, UK, with some members based in the area and some working with the team remotely.

The Director of Fundraising has a key role in applying for grants and working with regular donors, as well as developing strategies for future directions in fundraising.
