Opportunities for Short Term Missions with Christ’s Disciples’ Missionary Foundation in Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad
Volunteer positions are not paid positions, and every volunteer is required to raise their support. Understand also that volunteers primary assignment is not the ‘job’ they’re coming to do but the purpose for which they are coming, which include: telling people about Jesus, encouraging new converts to be strong in their faith and help support existing efforts for reaching the unreached or developing the community.
- English Conversation Club Facilitators – (Location: Doba): You will be involved in working with youth, many of whom are either in or just finished secondary school, have learnt a little bit of English Language but need more practice in order to gain confidence and be able to participate in conversations. You will need to be creative in bringing up conversations that interests them and provides opportunities for them to talk and learn new vocabulary. There is a lot of room for creativity using games, stories etc. And you don’t need to know French to do this. This requires a commitment of 4 weeks minimum.
- English Teachers (Location: Doba): You will be involved teaching English at the Centre for Languages and Social Integration (CELSI). English teachers are needed for various levels from beginner through advanced. You do not need to know French to teach English, but you will need basic French if you need to communicate outside the class-rooms. It is advised that volunteers have basic communication French or be willing to learn so as to take conversations further. This requires a minimum commitment of 3 months.
- Skill Teachers (Location: Doba): Volunteers will also have the opportunity to teach various skills at CELSI. This varies based on the experience and expertise of the volunteer, but this needs to be discussed extensively long before coming. For this, volunteers will need enough French to be able to teach in French. Requires from 3 months commitment. Skills that could be taught include ICT, Arts & Craft, Music, Sports and other such skills.
- Administrative Officer: We need someone who is able to coordinate the activities of the mission base. This will involve management of on ground facility, being responsible for accommodation of missionaries and volunteers on base or on transit. You will be basically responsible for the day to day running of the base. This requires English and basic French. Volunteers will need to spend a minimum of 1 year on the field. This opportunity also allows the volunteer to participate in other activities going on either at the conversation clubs, at CELSI or in nearby mission fields.
- Bible Study Facilitators: We currently run a discipleship school for church members in Doba and nearly towns and villages. We need more persons who are able to facilitate these discipleship cells during bible studies and teach them the basics of faith. This might require lots of traveling around and requires someone with both indepth knowledge of the bible and an indepth knowledge of French. This is preferably a long term position as you will need to watch your team grow and provide leadership and mentorship where necessary, but short termers willing to be on the field for a year will be very productive on this too.
