Education
"We love our teachers!" This statement is from an MAF missionary, as she watches dedicated Christian teachers build knowledge and life skills into her children. Even though they are half a world away from their home country, she is confident her children are receiving a first-rate education.
As a qualified teacher, you will be an essential part of a team seeking to provide access to the Gospel in a challenging location. One of the vital components in overcoming barriers to the Gospel is quality education for the children of MAF missionary families.
MAF places teachers in a number of schooling situations, ranging from one-room, multigrade schools to traditional accredited international schools.
Requirements:
- Growing, personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
- Teacher certification – U.S. State or ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International)
- Minimum of one-year full-time teaching experience
- Willingness to raise ministry partners for prayer and financial support
Current Opportunities
- Nabire, Papua, Indonesia: One elementary teacher for MAF children in grades 2 and 4
Business and Finance
A head for numbers ... a heart for people.
The flight operations, communications, and learning technologies of MAF uniquely have an impact on people whose access to the Gospel or to basic needs is severely restricted. These technical tools are wielded with precision and effectiveness.
However, this technical ministry requires diligent administration behind the scenes. The tools are expensive, the cargo precious, and the resources limited. MAF urgently needs skilled accountants and finance managers who will use their talents to assure that records are clear and helpful, planning is careful and realistic, and MAF continues being good stewards of the gifts, talents, and resources entrusted to us.
