Urban Educator to the Marginalized

Located in the 10/40 window, Bangkok is an unreached megacity with only 1% Evangelical Christians. It is strategic not only because of its influence on Thailand, but also on all of Asia. God has brought many unreached people groups from surrounding countries to Thailand for work or sanctuary. Normally difficult to reach due to political and geographical barriers, they are now in a land of religious freedom where they can hear the Gospel. 

We are looking for relational self-starters who are willing to cross these challenging barriers of language and socio-economic conditions to develop pathways for connecting with both Thai and non-Thai children and families of marginalized communities. 

This opportunity has two possible ministry locations. The first is working with non-Thai students from marginalized people groups, both children and teens. Because their parents are mostly migrant workers, the students are unable to attend regular school. The second opportunity is working alongside a community project in a Thai slum community. This Goer would be working with both children and teens, helping to teach English as well as doing community development and outreach. Past teaching experience and credentials are preferred but not required.

Skills:

Relational – Able to build relationships with local people, the team, and partner churches.

Flexible – Moving forward in the midst of drastic changes to schedule and plans.

Self-motivated — finding or making opportunities for relationships and language learning; persevering and diligent in ministry tasks, etc. 

Adventurous — willing to test and be tested by the unfamiliar

Professional skills (optional) -- teaching credentials, athletic experience, community development
