What We're Looking For

• Genuine curiosity about people, cultures, and communities.
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• Self-motivation and the ability to create opportunities for connection without needing constant direction.
• Flexibility, resilience, and a learner's mindset.
• A growing Christian faith and a desire to help others explore and follow Christ.

• Creating consistent opportunities for community, hospitality, and spiritual conversations.
• Demonstrating Christ's love through faithful presence and practical service.
