Position Description

The Lead Serve Asia Coordinator provides leadership to our Serve Asia short-term mission discipleship program. In this role, you will coordinate a team who are passionate to see individuals and groups sent to a wide variety of ministry assignments in East Asia and continue being involved in the global mission of God.

In facilitating this ministry, the Lead Serve Asia Coordinator contributes to the wider involvement of the Canadian Church in global mission.
