Graphic Designers Make Great Missionaries

Do you have a knack for creating beautiful illustrations while your friends all draw stick figures? Perhaps you enjoy telling stories through eye-catching digital artwork. If so, you could be a great missionary graphic designer!

Whether you have always dreamed of serving in missions or are simply wondering how you can use your creative talents for God, TWR (also known as Trans World Radio) has a place for you.

The Opportunity

We at TWR are on a mission to reach the world for Christ by mass media so that lasting fruit is produced. With a potential reach of 4 billion people worldwide, we use the best tools available to share lasting hope – whether by radio, video or social media.

We are always on the lookout for innovative designers who will contribute to the work of TWR with their creative flair. As technology and mass media constantly evolve, we seek to stay on the cutting edge in order to reach as many people as possible. Our designers work on many types of projects, such as magazines, web banners, and event displays – and that’s only scratching the surface.

Just as 1 Corinthians 12 teaches, you are an individual part necessary to the functioning of one body – the body of Christ. Your unique contributions can help us be a part of the body’s diverse, dynamic functioning. As a graphic designer, you are essential to presenting our story and mission in a way that grabs attention.

Could This Opportunity Be for You?

Graphic design plays a key role in keeping TWR’s supporters up to date on our ministry initiatives. Jeannine Klingbeil, a designer in our U.S. office, stresses the importance of sharing messages in “a visually appealing way.” She says her work is a significant part of “telling potential partners who want to expand their reach the story of what God is doing through TWR.” She adds, “We have to appropriately represent to our existing donors what we do, too.”

We are looking for a creative, visionary individual to help tell the story of what God is accomplishing through TWR across the globe. Your strong conceptual skills and design sensibilities will come in handy in both digital and print formats. An ability to independently manage several projects is key to success in this role as well.

Most importantly, Klingbeil emphasizes the purpose and eternal value behind her work. “What do you want to accomplish with your life?” she asks. “If you’ve got a desire to invest in something that’s beyond yourself, then we’re the place for you." 

We need people who are excited to join a ministry with a global impact. As with all missionary roles, those serving with TWR build a team of partners who support them – both in prayer and finances – so that they can fulfill God’s calling to serve.

Now that you know how your graphic design gifts can make a difference in the world of missions, will you answer the call?
