Student Discipler/Outreach Worker-Taiwan
Working with college students and young people in Taiwan is a strategic way to reach a very resistant people—Taiwan’s working class. College students tend to be more open to the gospel as they are away from their families and communities where idol and ancestor worship are expected.
The Student Discipler will serve at an outreach center/coffee shop dedicated to reaching, discipling and training students and preparing them to be instruments of change in their communities. Many of the students come from rural areas. The coffee shop provides a convenient, welcoming place for students to gather.
We are looking for individuals to join our holistic church planting team and be involved in relationship building and sharing their life and love of Jesus with these students through various activities at the outreach center— including Bible studies, English conversation, playing games, music, and sports.
This position requires a vibrant and dedicated spiritual life characterized by consistent practice of spiritual disciplines. The Student Discipler will need to have a solid understanding of the Scriptures and be able to teach the Bible faithfully and accurately in the language of the people they serve.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience with evangelism and discipleship
- Willingness to commit at least 5 years to the project
- A solid commitment to the spiritual disciplines (i.e., Bible reading, prayer, etc.)
- Ability to learn the local language (Mandarin Chinese)
The Student Discipler will collaborate with a team to evangelize and disciple the people and prepare local servant-leaders to become co-workers in leading the current ministry of training students. They will:
- Live among the unreached people group, learning their language and culture before beginning formal ministry
- Teach the Bible in formal and informal settings
- Evangelize and disciple the people
- Identify and equip native leaders to evangelize their own people, who are primarily an unreached people group
- Encourage and come alongside local church leaders to disciple believers in a life-on-life manner
- Develop current and future church leaders with Biblical and practical leadership skills
The INN: Art and the Gospel
The arts can be instrumental in creating new channels for evangelism and discipleship! Serve the growing number of people in transition in the US through your creative gifts!
If you are looking for an opportunity to use your creative gifts to bring the stories of God to life, consider serving in The INN! Your artistic skills can provide an invaluable contribution to a church-planting team. Music, drama, oral storying, media, and the visual arts can be powerful tools for opening up doors to share the gospel and build relationships.
Explore your fit with an INN site in Savannah, Philadelphia, Lancaster, Houston, Central PA, or South Florida.
To effectively use the arts to gather and reach diaspora communities, workers need both passion and skill to creatively reach them with the gospel, as well as to disciple and equip them.

Literacy-Indonesia
Do you have experience teaching people to read and write? Your role would include working with a literacy committee to train teachers, develop educational materials, and implement literacy programs in schools and communities.
You will also mentor a national literacy coordinator so that they are equipped to expand and multiply your efforts.
Translation-Indonesia
Use your translation skills to help deliver the Scriptures to people in a language and form they can understand. Many tribal languages are unwritten, leaving entire unreached people groups without a Bible that they can read.
Help people grow in faith as they receive the scripture in their heart language. Experience the joy of developing deep relationships with the national translators you work with. You may also help to develop literacy programs or serve as a translation consultant and advisor.
Mercy and Justice-Indonesia
Bring the love of our Savior to the poor and disenfranchised — help them find joy and new life in Christ! Pray with those you serve to learn what their needs are.
Then use your creative, compassionate, innovative heart and mind to develop relevant, sustainable programs for meeting individual and community needs. Your ministry will be part of a holistic church-planting team approach.
Storying-Indonesia
Are you a good communicator who loves to help people learn to study and share God’s Word? Many tribal languages are unwritten, and as a result, entire unreached people groups have no access to the Bible.
Storying is a method of teaching Bible stories by breaking them down into mini-stories that make up a larger, collective narrative of Scripture. The mini-stories are easy for nationals to learn and share orally, often incorporating poetry, music and visual arts. Through your ministry, you can help people grow in faith as they hear the Scripture in their heart language.
TESL-Indonesia
People with formal and informal training/experience in teaching English are needed on church-planting teams. Your students will gain a valuable skill while you have a natural bridge for building relationships and sharing your faith.
Come join us in Indonesia and teach English to developing Church Leaders and/or get involved with Community Center Outreaches.
