Dear Wesleyan Pastors and Church Leaders,
I am writing to invite nominations for the role of National Missions Director.
Before outlining the process, I want to acknowledge, with deep gratitude, the significant contribution of Dallas in this role over many years, together with Ruth. Their faithful service, sacrifice, and commitment to mission have helped shape who we are as a movement. We honour them and give thanks to God for their ministry among us.
As we look to the future, we are seeking to appoint a National Missions Director who can help lead us into the next season.
This is primarily a volunteer position, although there may be provision for up to one day per week depending on available income. The role is not centred on one person doing everything, but on someone who can lead, build, and coordinate a team to carry the mission of the church forward.
The Role Includes:
-Coordinating the national missions department
-Strengthening and overseeing our existing mission connections, including:
-The Solomon Islands
-Our missionary in South Asia, David Collins
-Support of D as she prepares for Fotizo
-Helping connect our churches in Australia with mission opportunities across the 100+ countries in which we have a presence
-Ensuring our mission efforts align with our national vision: Anyone to Anywhere
- Encouraging and equipping churches to embrace this missional posture
- Expanding both the reach and the depth of our mission engagement as a denomination
This is a significant leadership role within our movement. It is directly accountable to the National Board of Administration (NBA) and works within the mission direction they set.
The Person We Are Seeking:
This is not a role that can be fulfilled by one person alone. The key requirement is the ability to develop and lead a capable team, bringing people together around a shared vision for mission.
Nomination Process:
You are welcome to nominate someone else or nominate yourself
If nominating another person, please ensure you have their permission first
All nominees will be asked to provide background information and relevant experience
A shortlist will be formed, and applicants will be interviewed
The NBA will make the final decision
Please send all nominations to [email protected] by COB 6 May.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this important role. I am encouraged by the way God continues to shape us as a people on mission, and I look forward to seeing how He will lead us into this next chapter.
Grace and peace,
Lex
