Philippines-Business Training
Many of the communities that we work in set up their own businesses but do not have the training or ability to be able to sustain them. Training community members in good business practices to help their business thrive creates stronger families and communities. This role is ideal for individuals looking to combine their business expertise with a heart for service, community development, and evangelism.
This position will live among and serve the Filipino people as a member of a holistic, church-planting team in the Philippines. They will use their business knowledge, experience, and expertise to lead classes and seminars in computers, leadership, micro-enterprise, and other areas of business.
