Biblical Training Specialist – Thailand

The Serge Thailand team is seeking a Biblical Training Specialist to offer specialized biblical/theological training with a distinctively reformed theology and worldview.

In working with and listening to Thai ministry leaders, the team has identified the need to offer specialized biblical/theological training. They do not desire to build a seminary but rather, are looking to offer training in specifically chosen topics that will augment what leaders have already received and supplement areas that are lacking.

This training will be a combination of in-person classes/seminars and online courses. However, even with online offerings, the team is committed to maintaining a personal touch to the educational experience.

Responsibilites:

• Work with the Serge Thailand team to listen to Thai ministry leaders and determine what they believe are important training needs
• Work with the Serge Thailand team to determine topics that are needed
• Work together with Serge’s Renewal team and the Serge Thailand team to develop courses/trainings that are:
  • Biblical at their core
  • Reflective of a reformed perspective and worldview, while maintaining a gracious approach towards those who may not share the same worldview
  • Aligned with the missions, visions, and values of both Serge and Serge Thailand
  • Tailored to resonate with Thai people and their culture as the primary audience
  • Created to be delivered in the Thai language
• Teach the lessons the team creates at in-person events
• Assist in creating text, audio, and video versions of courses (Tech skills not necessary, but helpful!)
• Disciple and encourage students enrolled in the courses

These training programs may encompass a range of topics, including but not limited to:

• What is the gospel?
• How does this gospel affect my life and ministry?
• What is the church?
• How do I plant a church in the context of a Thai village…with no money?
• Serge’s “Sonship” discipleship course
• And other topics as recommended by Thai ministry partners

Requirements and Critical Qualities:

• This role requires a seminary-level education
• It is also highly personal, so a love of teaching, discipling, and encouraging Thai ministry leaders is a must
• While not necessary, experience in congregational or other people-focused teaching ministry is a major plus
• This position requires learning the Thai language after arriving on the field

Support Raising:

The person in this role raises their full financial support for salary, ministry expenses, and benefits.
When you are appointed to go with Serge, you are assigned a support coach who will guide you step-by-step through the entire support-raising process.
