MISSIONARY OPPORTUNITIES

 
“Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”  (Matthew 25:40)

CORM is looking for missionaries who have a heart for children, a passion for seeing God move in poor communities, a call to seek justice for the oppressed (the orphaned, abandoned, trafficked, and vulnerable mother and child in particular). A desire to equip, disciple, empower, and release national leaders to transform the spiritual landscape of Ghana and the world. 
 
QUALIFICATIONS
All applicants should be familiar with the City of Refuge Ministries, their mission and vision, and have a desire to serve in whatever capacity is needed.  Applicants should:
Be teachable
Be culturally adaptable
Be wise
Have a positive attitude toward national & international leadership
Be willing to work under CORM’s vision and values
Be accountable
Be able to receive direction well
Have a servant’s heart which shares the day-to-day responsibilities of community living, walks in God’s love, and gives out of the overflow
 
SHORT-TERM VS. LONG TERM
With the City of Refuge Ministries, we host both short and long term missionaries to serve with our ministry.  If you are planning on staying with CORM for three months to 2 years to help in any of our programs, you would be considered a short-term missionary.  Short term missionaries typically serve with CORM in opportunities like:
Co-teach in our school, Faith Roots International Academy
Gap Year (which might include a variety of opportunities including teaching, sports, outreach, etc.)
Work with products and the discipleship of women in our 7 Continents Women’s Empowerment program
Missionaries staying beyond two years are considered long-term missionaries.  They would typically serve in the oversight of projects like:
Development of programs like farming, aquaponics, micro-finance, etc.
Clinic and Medical Training/CHE
Oversight of positions like housing and house parent discipleship, counseling, etc.
 
SUPPORT
Missionaries are responsible for their financial support and come to CORM as volunteers.  They can seek room and board off-campus or can rent apartment space in our missionary housing.  Support can be managed through the City of Refuge Ministries as a sending agency if the missionary desires. Even so, long-term workers are still accountable to the leadership of CORM's Board of Directors and should seek to function in an interdependent and submissive manner within the CORM community – including the scheduling of travel, holiday,s and breaks.
 
HEALTH
Applicants should be in good health due to the demanding physical conditions of the areas where we minister. Medical insurance coverage will be verified before your acceptance and must include emergency evacuation.
 
APPLICATION AND MORE INFORMATION
The leadership at CORM receives all applications and works under the Holy Spirit’s direction to match prospective missionaries with the current needs and opportunities at CORM.
