Opportunities for Short Term Service with GBM
The Philippines
As experienced by John, Georgina and Catherine, and many others, there are regular opportunities for those who want to spend between one and nine months serving the Lord in the Philippines with Cubao Reformed Baptist Church and Christian Compassion Ministries. Ideal for someone wanting a gap year before University.
Latvia
From September 2010 there is an opportunity to work alongside Malcolm and Ruth Firth for either one or two years. You could train as a TEFL language teacher in Riga and then teach English to Latvians and International Students. You would also be involved in the work of GAiN, providing Christian compassion to the poorest people of Latvia, and there would be plenty of opportunities for personal evangelism. Knowledge of Latvian or Russian is not essential. Would suit someone aged 21+.
France
Are you doing a language degree that includes French? Then why not join Fiona Steward in Bordeaux for part of your year out, and improve your language through student evangelism? Or spend a year after University working alongside Fiona as an apprentice.
Spain
There are opportunities in both Barcelona and Malaga for someone who is a Spanish speaker and wants to spend a year in Spain doing evangelism.
Brazil
Jason and Andie Murfitt are looking for someone to work alongside them for up to a year to help with the home schooling of their daughter Lucy. You would also have the opportunity to join them in various kinds of evangelism along the tributaries of the River Amazon. This situation would suit someone in their early twenties, who could start in the autumn of 2010.
To discuss any of these opportunities, and for details of how to apply, please contact Jim Sayers using the contact form.
A steady flow of young people have come forward for Short Term Service with GBM, mostly in the Philippines. We are keen to grow this part of our work, as we see this as a great opportunity for young people to serve God, experience other world cultures, and to test their own sense of calling.
