Types of Service

Every year, people are joining TWR and exploring opportunities, experiencing transformed lives, engaging their passions and making an eternal difference. Short-term assignments, from six months to three years, are designed to provide exposure to international cultures and needs while allowing missionaries to envision where God might lead them to pursue longer term ministry. Long-term assignments, from three years to career service, provide the opportunity for missionaries to fully engage in life on the mission field and to play a unique role in TWR’s kingdom work.

 

  • Administrative/Clerical

     

    Did you know that God uses list-makers, coordinators and well-organized people to spread the Good News? Our teams need folks who can oversee reports and letter response excerpts, keep program data up to date, network with our partners and perform general administrative duties. Various TWR departments such as Broadcasting, Public Relations and Human Resources are in need of individuals with these skills in our quest to bring the Good News to the entire world through Gospel radio!

  • Broadcasting

     

    Does your heart beat faster when you think of the effect music can have on people’s lives? TWR uses music in our programming to encourage and reach our listeners with the Gospel. But we need gifted individuals to research, audition and catalogue tunes. If you have a good awareness of the current Christian music industry, artists and styles, can assist in development of a website to allow our partners access to our music database and have some experience with Cool Edit and Access, then you may be able to use your gifts here for the furtherance of the Kingdom.

  • Craftsmen

     

    Be honest. Did you get in trouble for taking apart the radio when you were five years old? Do you love to fix things? Climb things? Build things? If you want to work with your hands but be a part of God’s work around the world, TWR might be the place for you. From antenna riggers to building and transmitter maintenance, there are many opportunities to get your hands dirty while participating in God’s rescue mission for the world.

  • Engineering/Audio Technician

     

    Do you know your way around studio equipment? Do you wince when you hear poorly broadcast radio programs? Maybe you can help change that! A position with TWR as an engineer/audio technician would include traveling to TWR’s partner offices to repair and upgrade broadcast equipment and personal computers while training local staff. Keeping a supply of replacement parts and oversight of service manuals and studio wiring is essential. Skills in working with RF circuits, logic circuits, automation systems, project management, and computers combined with good documentation disciplines will be utilized. An associate degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology or computer science can be so helpful in using technology to spread the news of Jesus to the world!

  • English Language Program Coordination

     

    How does a radio ministry best reach their audience? Do you think you could motivate presenters and producers and present TWR’s ministry to partners, broadcasters and organizations? With your knowledge of Christian broadcasting in a particular cultural context, you could help us monitor audience response, work with a program development team and manage program content and scheduling to bring life-changing radio to the world!

  • Finance

     

    Using the Lord’s resources well is a must in any Christian organization. If facts, figures and spreadsheets are in your talent pool, consider how your gifts can be used directly for the Kingdom! You would have the opportunity to participate in preparation of departmental expense budgets, regional income forecasts and assist in entry of budget details into TWR’s system. Government and other reporting will be done, along with managing foreign currencies and ensuring smooth business compliance and procedures while interfacing with local government officials.

  • Fund Development

     

    Every year, people are joining TWR and exploring opportunities, experiencing transformed lives, engaging their passions and making an eternal difference.

  • Human Resources

     

    Does your heart beat for people serving in ministry? Do you enjoy caring for others and helping to create policies and practices that will better the lives of those serving in missions? TWR is looking for individuals to engage in Human Resources ministry. Opportunities include providing quality member care to staff serving worldwide, engaging in the recruitment of new staff, assisting missionaries in partnership development, participating in the creation, editing and implementation of policies, etc.

  • Information Technology/Information Systems

     

    Does the thought of using new technology make you salivate? Do you have training and/or experience in systems administration, programming, web design, etc.? TWR is looking for individuals with skills in both the hard and soft sciences of computers and might be just the place for you. The IT/IS team uses cutting-edge technologies to put programs on the air, connect a global staff, manage information and automate a variety of tasks. The possibilities to serve are vast and challenging. Will you join us in God’s rescue mission for the world?

  • Program Production

     

    Do you have a heart for developing programming that meets people where they are with encouragement, admonition and biblical teaching? Producing quality programs, writing articles for internet and print media, developing program content manuals and expanding resources and contacts for programs with TWR might be just the ministry for you! Knowledge of audio editing software would be advantageous, along with training in radio program production and script writing.

  • Marketing & Communications

     

    Do you love advancing a cause? What better cause to advance than God’s rescue mission for the world? TWR is looking for individuals with a passion for marketing and public relations. Whether you are a journalist, proposal writer, researcher, editors, photographer, videographer or strategist, there may be a place for you at TWR. Come and join us in reaching the world for Christ using mass media.

Term Lengths

  • Short-term Assignments

     

    Every year, people are joining TWR and exploring opportunities, experiencing transformed lives, engaging their passions and making an eternal difference. Short-term assignments, from six months to two years, are designed to provide exposure to international cultures and needs while allowing missionaries to envision where God might lead them to pursue longer term ministry. Short-termers also experience opportunities for meaningful outreach on the field.

  • Long-term Assignments

     

    TWR is passionate about reaching the world for Christ through mass media. Long-term missionary roles (three years or more) vary widely depending on the needs of a given location. Positions center around the production, distribution and support of multimedia ministry, but also include many other administrative and nontechnical needs. So many people move through life without discovering or utilizing their passion to make a lasting impact. But for those whose personal journey is stirring them toward cross-cultural ministry, TWR is here to help them use their skills for an eternal purpose.

  • Volunteer

     

    Volunteer service may be short- or long-term. Retirees often provide great experience and expertise through volunteering in the United States and overseas locations. Missions trip groups can also volunteer to visit TWR sites and help with larger projects, such as construction, which missionaries might be unable to complete due to insufficient resources or workers.
