Missionary: Turkish and Kurdish Communities

Have you got the skills needed to mobilise Churches in London for mission in a cross-cultural context? 

Do you have experience in sharing the love of God and His gospel within diverse urban communities? 

Do you have a passion for mission in London? 

At London City Mission, we estimate that one in two Londoners, that’s roughly 4.5 million people, are unlikely to hear the gospel in their lifetime. These are the people who are unlikely to have a Christian friend to invite them to church or introduce them to the hope found in Jesus Christ. Many of those who have never heard the gospel will be from diverse people groups and faith communities.  

We are convinced more than ever that LONDON NEEDS JESUS! And we believe that God’s plan is to reach this city through his church. As a Mission, we are partnering with churches who have a growing passion for reaching out to their neighbourhoods with the good news of Jesus Christ, but who need equipping and building up for this crucial work. This role is, therefore, Church mobilisation role.  

We are seeking candidates for Missionary role who have a passion for sharing the good news of Jesus with specific groups of Londoners, but who can also come alongside churches to train and inspire Christian believers to reach their local communities with the hope of the gospel.
