Administration
Use your management skills to fill a critical need.
Overseas and at home, the need for administrators continues to grow as Bible translation and literacy work expand into new countries. At present administration is one of the most critical needs within the organisation.
Administration roles vary considerably, but may involve:
- Carrying out management functions such as planning, organizing and coordinating staff within the context of a cross cultural team
- Supervising and overseeing the training of missionary and national staff
- Planning and implementing strategies to move translation projects forward, harnessing the skills and experience of a diverse team
- Managing the day to day running of a regional office to enable language work to continue
- Writing funding proposals for Bible translation and literacy projects
The skills and qualities which make a good administrator in the secular world will make the same person an asset to the Bible translation team. Many situations call for imagination, ingenuity and initiative as well as a deep sense of commitment to the Lord. If God has given you administrative or management skills then these can be invested in taking his Word to hundreds of people groups around the world.
