This is a Full-Time position, working a schedule based on the activities of the President and the Association, which may include travel for many months at a time.  Although this is a salaried position, the Senior Aide would be expected to actively participate in asking family and friends for support to help cover his/her salary and ministry expenses.

Overview

This is a rare and unique opportunity!  The mission of New Fire for Christ is to reach as many as possible for Christ through mass evangelistic festivals and through resulting movements of "mass discipleship," ensuring that as many as possible of those who received Christ are taught how to follow Him daily through God's word.

The New Fire for Christ ministry reaches tens of thousands of people in city-wide evangelistic festivals and our

School of Discipleship campaigns.  The ministry speaks to hundreds of thousands of others via radio and television broadcasts.  On Good Friday, 2011, the ministry spoke to an estimated 3-5 million people in a single television broadcast in the radically Islamic city of Karachi, in Pakistan.

The Senior Aide plays a vital role in organizing the festivals, and is the liaison between the President and the staff team of the ministry's School of Discipleship, which is discipling tens of thousands in 8 strategic nations around the world, for God's glory.

The candidate for the position of Senior Aide must have a deep commitment and consistent involvement in serving Christ and a passion for reaching people for Christ around the world.  The Senior Aide will travel extensively for and with the President of the Evangelistic Association, and will act as liaison with teams in the countries of Kenya, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others.  The Senior Aide may travel for varying degrees of time depending on the needs of the ministry.  On extended trips up to 6 months or more, trips home to the states may be occasionally allowed to visit family and friends, and help raise support..

The Senior Aide also supports the President by addressing a wide variety of duties relative to the administrative functions of the office and assignments as requested by the President.
