Campus Missionary Working with International Students

Campus Missionary Working with International Students

Power to Change is a faith-based mission organisation that seeks to build spiritual movements everywhere so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.

You will be involved reaching International students with the gospel of Jesus, making disciples, who will be discipled and equipped to do the same, as we trust God to see spiritual movements on our campuses. Reporting to your campus team leader, this full-time missionary role will be a key member of a campus team, based in Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria.?We also hope to pioneer an International Student Ministry in Western Australia in the near future.

Main Responsibilities

• Sharing your faith with others on campus
• Discipling both Christians, and new believers in following Jesus & training them to begin their own personal ministry in making disciples.
• Developing, coaching and equipping student leaders who will be the lead and take ownership of the campus movement.
• Regular Team Meetings: Planning and Prayer in how to reach the campus strategically.
• Leading bible studies or prayer times
• Attending/organising training, conferences, mission trips and other events
• Other activities for your team and/or state.

The successful applicant would be a person who has a passion to engage with International students or cross culturally, and would have been in full-time study at university or Bible College for at least two years (a degree is recommended). We welcome those with previous ministry experience with International students through your local church or vocation, but it is not necessary. Chinese speakers or those who are multi-lingual will be advantageous for ministry. We welcome those of all ethnic backgrounds to consider the role as we minister to a diverse cultural mix of students. Necessary training will be provided.

Power to Change missionaries raise a financial support team to allow them to serve in the movement. The applicant would be assigned a financial support coach who will help them through the support raising process. This normally takes between 6 and 12 months. Power to Change is very experienced with this method of funding mission work with over 150 people currently serving in Australia using this model.

On campus we were formally known as Student Life and part of Campus Crusade for Christ Australia. We are part of the international Cru network and have around 17,000 missionaries serving in over 160 countries.

This is a full-time campus missionary position. For more information on this strategic mission opportunity contact Aaron Gibson via email (joinus@powertochange.org.au).
