Global Frontier Missions has several short-term and
long-term Christian missionary staff positions and opportunities
available for those who want to work in full-time missions. Our ministry
has a focus on unreached people groups in Oaxaca,
Mexico.
All of our full-time missionaries are faith-based which means that they raise
their own support by looking to indivudals, churches, and businesses. Most of
our staff members also join Commission
to Every Nation (CTEN) for additional spiritual covering, help with newsletters,
and receipting purposes.
All of our full-time staff people are required to go through our Mission Training School as a way to get used to life in Mexico, to get comfortable
in Spanish, to discover their spiritual gifts, and to find out how they can
best be used in furthering the Kingdom. Some exceptions to the school being
a pre-requisite to being on staff with us can be made based on life/ministry
experience and Spanish fluency.
Long-term Mission Opportunities
and Positions:
Teaching English (ESL) in different villages: we
are looking for more people that would be willing to come and teach English
in different villages as a way of relationship evangelism to open doors for
church planting and discipleship.
Teaching Missionary Children: we would like to
have teachers dedicated to teaching the missionary kids here at the base in
order to free the parents up to do more hands-on minnistry among the unreached
people groups.
Discipleship/Church Planting: we are looking for
people that would be willing to go out and live among unreached people groups
or visit them regularly to do evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
This includes learning the language, culture, customs, and traditions of the
people so that you can effectively share the Gospel with them.

to come and help lead our youth ministry "La Roca".

students during the three month school and do follow-up discipleship and promotion

Urgent Staff Needs
1) Administrative Assistant
Pray for us to find someone that would be willing to be a type of office manager for GFM doing much of the correspondence, accounting, organizing, and web development that is involved in keeping the Mission Training School, short term teams, and other ministries going. This will free Grant and others up to have more time for relationships with staff, students, and villagers.
2) Pastoral Care
We had around 40 people living on our base in community this year and look to have about the same amount starting in September next year. Pray for a couple seasoned in life and ministry to come on board to oversee the spiritual life at the GFM base. We need someone with a lot of wisdom, counseling experience, knowledge of the Word, good speaking skills, and compassion that speaks the truth in love.
3) Medical Personnel
We need a full-time doctor or nurse practitioner to help run with the medical side of our ministry which helps open so many doors. We need someone to be in charge of all short-term medical teams coming through the base as well as oversee the mobile medical team which will be getting underway in Sept. A support staff of RNs, dentists, and other volunteers is also needed to get things running full force.
4) Missionary Children Teacher
We need someone that would be willing to come down to teach staff and students' children or assist in the homeschool process in order to free the parents up to get more involved in ministry. Most of the children are in pre-school or elementary school.
5) Church Planters
This would be our number one need if we didn't need administrative, pastoral, and medical staff so badly here at GFM right now. We are beginning to see how few people are really willing to give their lives up to plant churches in villages where there are none. It is a long, hard process of making relationships over time and takes awhile to see fruit which is why many don't feel "called" to do it. More than 90% of all missionaries are working in administrative and support jobs or in places where there are already churches. Please pray for more people that would be willing to do evangelism, discipleship, and church planting among the many unreached people groups of Oaxaca.
Please pass these needs on to others that you think might be interested and pray that God would send the right people to fulfill these roles. Jesus told us to specifically pray to the Lord of the harvest for more laborers to be sent.
