The church is situated in the middle of a community of people from a North African background and they have asked Borderless and ReachAcross to provide a team to help them run a special events week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vision <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The aim of the week is to build on the community work which the church is already involved in, this includes English lessons and helping residents find employment. The church wants to celebrate its involvement in their locality, and further show care and concern for their surrounding community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ministry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The local community have been resistant to the Gospel and are unlikely to respond well to open evangelism. For this reason, the team will seek to witness through their actions and chose their words carefully as they share the Gospel. However, the team will not seek to hide their identity as Christians, or their reason for being there when people express an interest.<\/p>\n<p>Activities will include a Children\u2019s holiday club \u2013 games, crafts. A community artwork challenge. A women\u2019s group to run alongside the children\u2019s activities \u2013 crafts and practicing English. There will also be sports activities for teenagers in the evenings. Along with the opportunity to visit local cafes and women\u2019s groups.<\/p>\n<p>Training will be given during orientation and at regular times during the week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications and Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Must be at least 18 years old, Christian and able to provide a reference from your local church. A heart for the lost and a willingness to learn are the key things we\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Experience or skills in one or more of the following areas would be desirable but not essential:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Experience working among people from a North African background<\/li>\n<li>Experience working with children<\/li>\n<li>Teaching English as a Second Language<\/li>\n<li>Sports skills<\/li>\n<li>Craft skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">When?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saturday 2<sup>nd<\/sup> August \u2013 Sunday 10<sup>th<\/sup> August 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The cost will be the cost price to cover accommodation, food, administration and DBS checks for the week, we do not expect this to exceed \u00a3475.00 per person.
