Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact on your community? Do you have a heart for building relationships with churches and organizations, driving participation, and spreading the word about transformative initiatives like Operation Christmas Child (OCC)? Samaritan’s Purse Canada (SPC) is looking for a Field Ministry Associate to join our OCC team!
Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian international relief organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. One of the ways Samaritan’s Purse Canada has had open doors to share the gospel is through the shoe box gift program of Operation Christmas Child.
As the Field Ministry Associate, you will be responsible for identifying church partners and project leaders, generating leads for volunteer prospects, securing shoebox orders, and increasing awareness, participation, and support for OCC within your assigned region. Since the church is the primary audience for SPC, this role will focus on encouraging and developing support for the OCC program within the Christian community, Christian schools, and other similar groups or organizations. As an integral member of the OCC Team, this role will help SPC carry out its mission and objectives through participation in daily prayer ministry.
The successful candidate will fulfill a full-time one-year contract position in a home-based office within the Greater Toronto Area. This position includes benefits of life insurance, medical/dental and short-term/long-term disability, RRSP contributions (after one year of employment), and 15 days of vacation per year to start.
