The new director may begin as early as Fall 2023 or as late as November/December 2024, depending on applicants received, their availability, and the board of directors’ final decision.

This position requires dedication to the mission and frequent travel. It offers satisfaction and fulfillment in serving Christ, and its true compensation is the spiritual blessing of working to further Christ’s kingdom here on earth.
