English Professor

Reach out to the people of Ivory Coast where less than 1% of the people are believers. Train key nationals in English and assist their dream to create a Christian university.

REQUIREMENTS:
Training in English (MA or above preferred). Willing to train people in English while discipling and bringing some to faith in Christ. Cooperative, dependable, industrious, adaptable, with stamina, having solid prayer support base and flexible. Mature believers, interested and experienced in local church ministry.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Learn French in France or Quebec. At the same time begin to understand culture. Teach at an envisioned Christian University or in smaller classes as the university develops. Participate in local churches to encourage them in outreach and ministry. Maintain your personal spiritual disciplines. Pray for the people and ministry. Participate in team and field activities.
LANGUAGE NEEDS:
French learned in France or Quebec
LANGUAGE USED:
English and French
LIVING ENVIRONMENT:
Live on the former ICA (International Christian Academy) Campus or other mission compound. As peace comes one might live in town. Northern Ivory Coast is generally hot and dry or hot and humid depending on the rains. Supplies are somewhat difficult to get but not impossible. Roads, phones, internet and electricity exist especially in cities but services may be sporatic.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
Very few missionaries and few westerners because of the conflict that has gone on in the country. We believe now is the time for people to begin training for ministry in northern Ivory Coast. In a worst case situation of continuing conflict you could use French to teach English in neighboring countries. Work with Rod and Angelika Ragsdale who are passionate and very skilled at outreach and dream with the nationals of creating a Christian university that would teach in agriculture, business English and missions. You would learn tons from them and gain from their experience. They want people to join with them in their ministry. The WorldVenture related team in Cote dIvoire is becoming multi-national. In the future it is possible that team meetings will be conducted in French, the language of CI of international exchange.
