Missionary to Women and Children

This role is based in the largest town of a remote jungle county where a To Every Tribe family has labored to establish the first gospel-proclaiming church.

 

Your focus as a Missionary to Women and Children will be to help strengthen this local church through intentional evangelism and discipleship of women, along with enlisting help from the local believers to build a robust, reproducible, gospel-focused ministry for children and youth as a ministry of the church.
