Research Journalist
Communicate the story of God's redemptive work through our ministry in Africa!
Can you draw people's minds and hearts into a project through a good story? Might God be calling you to tell His story to those who otherwise might not hear? You may have the opportunity to work with TWR-Africa's cross-cultural, global marketing and communications team to research and write articles, assisting with graphic design and layouts. By networking with partner offices, you can help them tell the story of what God's up to through TWR's media outreach in the Africa region!
Please note: This position is a supported/sponsored missionary role (not a direct hire opportunity), so you would develop a team of partners who provide financially for your full salary and benefits as a part of this role. We do provide training, resources, and coaching to help missionaries reach these financial support goals!
