We are Seeking a
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
WHO WE ARE Worldlink is a Christian ministry and our VISION is: To see God’s Good News shared with every unreached person transforming individuals and communities. In pursuing that desired outcome, our particular MISSION is: To empower indigenous missionaries to share the tangible love of God and the Good News of Jesus with the world’s least-reached people. There are almost 8.1 billion people in our world composed of 17,280 distinct people groups. About 3.4 billion people (42% of the world’s population) in 7,189 groups would be categorized as “unreached” living with limited gospel access and little or no opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus in a location and language to which they can logically respond in saving faith and begin a life of following him. Nearly 2 billion of our world’s inhabitants live where there are no known gospel movements and less than 0.1% Christians. Worldlink and our indigenous missionary partners are reaching these least-reached people. A typical person reached by our indigenous missionary partners would be:
1. Unsaved - spiritually needy
2. Apt to be reached by traditional Western missionary models
3. Culturally distant from Western Christians
4. Lives in a less-reached area without a sustained witness of the Gospel
5. Physically or emotionally suffering
We have a little over 2000 indigenous missionary partners in 60 countries. In the past 12 months their ministry has resulted in 1,517,460 people hearing the Good News of Jesus and, by God’s grace, 193,347 of then putting their faith in Christ.
In order to continue growing our missionary team and our impact, we are growing our Valley Forge, PA based Home Team by adding an Director of Finance and Administration.
