Bible & Ministry Instructor
Immediate Supervisor: Director of Education
The position of Bible and Ministry Instructor (BMI) is a missionary-status position (Matthew 28:20, II Timothy 2:2). Within the IPM organization, this position falls under the IPM Director of Education for supervision, direction, accountability, and coordination of missionary work and schedules.
A missionary serving as BMI will:
· Work in close cooperation with the Director of Education for advancing an overall strategy of establishing, developing, and teaching within our IPM-related Bible institutes, colleges, and seminaries. · Provide professional development for those who are already leading, teaching, and serving in the higher education ministries of our IPM national partners. · Bring Biblical teaching (doctrine, exposition, ministry) to these higher education ministries. · Work in the development of practical resources for these ministries (library books, course textbooks, written curriculum, technology issues, etc.). Give counsel, as needed, for helping these ministries administrate well and uphold academic standards appropriate to the school’s objectives. · Promote the IPM-related higher education ministries when speaking in USA churches and conferences, seeking to lift up this missions emphasis for an increase of awareness and support for these works that are preparing a great labor force for the Lord’s harvest around the world. · Assist in recruitment and arrangements for sound men (pastors, Bible college teachers, evangelists who are in accord with IPM’s doctrinal position) who can teach and serve among our ministries on a short-term basis (e.g., teach a two-week modular course in Myanmar). As God gives open doors, encourage faithful men regarding the Lord’s call to the ministry of the Word of God and their own availability to Him for missions work. · Communicate blessings and needs with ministry supporters by means of regular prayer letters and other correspondence. · Work with the Director of Education in accomplishing various projects, evaluating our higher education ministries, and implementing our specific objectives for these schools wherein we teach and train Christ’s servants to know and handle the Word of God accurately. |
