Qualifications . . .
A team leader plays a critical role in developing his or her team. The
first requirement of a team leader is that you have a strong
relationship with God, and are involved in a local church. While not
required, previous mission’s experience is extremely desirable. Team
leaders are mature, pro-active, organized, flexible and discerning
individuals—filling an important role of encouragement and leadership
by example.
Responsibilities . . .
You will play the key role in pre-field, on-field and post-field team
development. After selecting team members, you will coordinate
support-raising strategies, schedule team meetings, secure team
documentation (forms, insurance, passports, etc.). On the field, you
will work with our staff to coordinate and ready your team for its
projects, including team devotions and debriefing. After
arriving home, it is your privilege to guide reflection of group and
individual experiences.
What Food for the Hungry provides you . . .
- Team training materials
- Project selection, travel arrangements & logistical support
- Safety preparedness guidance
- In-country support (including English/Native speaking hosts)
Opportunities to further your ministry to the poor upon returning home.
The success of our teams program allows us to train and send numbers of teams around the world each year. We recognize that many of our team leaders are busy serving in their own local churches, while maintaining careers and caring for families. Our goal is to guide the training, fund-raising, project logistics, and travel arrangements so that you can enjoy the role of building, guiding and leading your team in a life-changing experience. In addition to the materials provided during pre-field training to prepare you, Team leaders attend a training conference held in January or February in Phoenix, Arizona.
