Youth worker with the indigenous church in Latin America

Description

Do you have a heart for helping young people discover their role in the emerging church? Are you being called to work with young people in Latin America?

We are looking for an inspiring individual or couple who can walk alongside indigenous young people in Latin America, helping them navigate the tensions between community traditions and today’s pressures.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of preparing the next generation of missionaries within the indigenous people groups of Latin America.

Ideally, you will come with an understanding of indigenous peoples, their culture and a willingness to serve, recognising that listening and learning is key to this role.

You must have a mature and living relationship with Jesus, have experience of engaging with marginalised people and be used to working on the edges of the mainstream.

You will need to have experience in youth work as well as working cross-culturally.

Fluency in Spanish would be highly desirable or a commitment to intensive language learning.

Church Mission Society places individuals, couples and families in over 30 countries around the world as we follow Jesus to the edges. Our placements are self-funding with extensive support in fundraising given to those who serve long-term (three years or longer). All placements are subject to our safer recruitment procedures, including DBS clearance. Church Mission Society is only able to directly test the calling of those who are rooted in UK/European churches.
