North Africa | Operations Associate

OPERATIONS ASSOCIATE Supporting Church Planting work from Morocco to Iran Our team is working across the full spectrum of church planting - from pioneering efforts where we're celebrating our first local disciples, to explosive movements where churches are multiplying. In one nation, we're nurturing a handful of reproducing churches. In another, indigenous leaders are planting new churches every week. Across this diverse landscape - from the hardest ground to the ripest harvest fields - we're hitting operational limits. We urgently need an Operations Associate who can help us scale intelligently, supporting both the slow pioneering work and the rapid multiplication movements that God is orchestrating. THE REALITY This role is half executive support, half project management, and completely essential. You will base in a city in North Africa to work directly with senior leadership coordinating efforts that span from Morocco to Iran, affecting work in multiple Muslim nations where tens of millions have never heard the Gospel clearly. When you excel in this role, field leaders spend more time training and coaching church planters instead of wrestling with logistics. Strategy meetings happen smoothly. Resources reach the right people at the right time. The infrastructure supports frontline ministry.
