FOCUS Military Ministry is seeking a trained ministry worker to join the team at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra.
ADFA is the prime training base for career officers in the ADF. Trainee Officers (TOs) spend 3 or 4 years at ADFA completing military training and a UNSW bachelor degree. The unique combination of tertiary studies and military training provides incredible openness and opportunities for the gospel to be held out to the young men and women who will be leaders in our defence force.
We operate with the oversight of military chaplains and in partnership with like minded military ministries and churches. FOCUS at ADFA is an affiliate group with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES).
Currently, we employ one full time and three part time staff for ministry at ADFA. Roles and responsibilities flow from the FOCUS strategy (engaging, proclaiming, equipping & connecting).
Regular activities include evangelising in 1-1 and small groups, teaching the bible to groups of 10-30 TOs, writing/leading bible studies and ministry training courses, mentoring TOs & integrating them into local churches, assisting on camps & conferences, and growing prayer/financial partnerships with churches/individuals. Fundraising is required (with help from staff).
We'd love to hear from you via this expression of interest form, or call Pete Ritchie (0422 798 288)
