Opportunities to serve in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia

Language and Culture Acquisition

MENACA| 2+ years

We equip workers with Arabic language and cultural understanding to live, serve and witness among least-reached communities across the Arab world, in interdependence with the local church.

Reaching Migrant Workers

MENACA| 2+ years

Using professional or international church platforms, we seek to build relationships with expatriates and migrant workers from least-reached countries in order to share love and truth, make disciples and equip/mobilise believers to be witnesses to their hosts, among compatriots and in their home countries. There are professional openings in a variety of areas, especially engineering, IT, teaching and healthcare – including hospital positions for physicians, nurses, midwives and more.

Serving Refugees and the Displaced

MENACA| 2+ years

We'd love to welcome those with a heart for sharing life marginalised displaced, refugee and migrant communities in the Middle East. After initial investment in language study, there are a range of options for serving in partnership with local churches and ministries, contributing to educational, development, vocational training and discipleship programmes.
