Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. The primary language spoken is the national dialect of Arabic and this dialect is a requirement for candidates filling this MOD. We expect all new team members to be in full-time language and cultural study for two years. French can be helpful in this context but is not required. We have great options for language learning in our city. Health Considerations
Private clinics offer most services found in America at a reasonable cost. Malaria is not an issue. Most medications found in the U.S. can be obtained at the local pharmacy. While medical services are good, those with special health considerations should contact the International Placement Office at Candidates@cmalliance.org before applying. Expectations For Spouse
Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. Children’s Educational Plan And Options
There are several local and international schools available for education in English, French, or the local language. Compensation Package
The successful applicant(s) will receive a full compensation package with the expectation that, once appointed, efforts will be made to raise a portion of support costs through the applicant’s network of friends, family, local church, or other resources. Information on support costs will be made available upon application. Training and/or coaching in fundraising is available. Whole-Life Health
CAMA Services is the relief and development specialized structure of Alliance Missions. As part of an evangelical denomination, we are committed to biblical holism, which is modeled and reflected through our work. Due to this commitment, part of the required qualifications includes optimal emotional, spiritual, and physical health. These will be assessed during the application process. Important Clarification
Applicant(s) should be aware that serving in the international world often requires a higher degree of grace and flexibility. For example, overseas teams can be suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by illness, government decisions, financial realities, team changes, or other factors beyond the team’s control. The challenge for applicants is that these factors can sometimes necessitate the sudden redefining of a position, which may take place before, during, or after the application/interview process has begun or is completed.
