Urgent Personnel Needs:
Is God calling you?

Curious about how you might fit into what God is doing around the world?

Literally hundreds of requests for new personnel have come in from every corner of the world. There is a wide variety of opportunities. See these requests now.

Personnel overseas have identified each of these as a specific need, and believe a person in this role would make a strategic impact in sharing the good news of Christ. Hopefully, as you look over the list, you will find several opportunities for which you are especially qualified.

Note these are requests for long-term personnel, individuals who are committed to planting their lives overseas.

The list is constantly changing as new requests are added and existing requests are filled by new personnel. Every Friday around mid-day the most current requests, plus requests posted previously that are yet unfilled, will be posted to offer you a listing of active needs.

If you find an opportunity that interests you, and you would like to know more about how to apply for service, then contact the initial contacts coordinator at initial.contacts@imb.org or call toll free at 888-I Can Go1 (422-6461). If you are already in contact with one of our candidate consultants, then feel free to contact your consultant directly.
