Missionary Paid Position - Missions With a Paycheck, a Rare Find in Ministry

Living a life of love and service demands great sacrifice. I know personally from the over 15 years I have served in missions and ministry.

Although I had a wonderful and unforgettable experience traveling to over 50 countries of the world, my continual struggle was providing for myself and family financially. Living off of freewill offerings and the whim of a sponsor who feels emotionally inclined to give one month, but forgets there annual commitment midstream is no easy task. Nevertheless God is faithful and always managed to supply our needs.

Among some of the part-time jobs I took while living and working abroad is one of my personal favorites - teaching English to students of other languages. Finding a faith based school that allows you to impart morality and godly values while you are teaching is a bit harder to find. Thankfully however my many years of traveling the globe, making friends, and building professional networks has given me an unusual cross-cultural bond with employers.

While stationed here in the United States, I have had the joy and privilege of connecting people to the overseas teaching market and facilitating meaningful employment. Many discover that living abroad is far less stressful and way more relaxing than living capitalistic countries in the western hemisphere that are mostly monetarily motivated. Moreover living abroad allows a professional ample time to enjoy their life, rediscover their own values, reconnect with themselves, and expand their horizons as they experience a new culture. Meeting new people abroad opens up a world a lifelong friendships and marriages for many singles.

Truly dreams do come true! Learn from the wise and master your money when doing missionary work. If you can secure yourself financially to undergird your ministry, your life will be far more enjoyable and less stressful. Solid contacts and faith based employers who celebrate and compensate you is worth its weight in gold.

Live your missionary dream, while working for Christian employer who will celebrate and financially compensate you. The world of missions and ministry must be sustained financially, without which the missionary will sink into despair and be unable to adequately care for him or herself. Enter a new world of ministerial service and missions, pioneering a path that is profitable spiritually and financially.
