| Short / Mid-Term Coordinator-Mentor-Facilitator | 4 Years | Lifetime | Africa | Uganda | Short-term teams can be a significant part of ministry and need to be done very well.

As a Mid-term Mentor and Facilitator you will facilitate, orient and walk along side mid-term missionaries serving throughout Uganda. Ministry in Uganda has many challenges, and having a mentor to help process these makes a huge difference. You will be an advocate for the mid-term missionary and will help craft their ministry experience.

Regular gatherings (both formal and informal- such as retreats, pizza nights and an open home) are vital to building community and relationship.
You will become part of a local church and, depending on the “load” of mid-termers on the field, involved in the ministry of the church.

Gifting and experience in discipling others, and having a humble heart and willingness to be a learner and co-pilgrim is necessary. Listening skills will be highly valued! Hospitality is a key dimension of this ministry- providing a home that is open and welcome to others. It is important that you be able to plan and organize logistics related to your ministry responsibilities. | 1780 |
