Director of Global Development The World Evangelical Alliance 2019   Director of Global Development The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) is in search of a person to oversee the Office of Global Development. This opportunity blends the work of Regional and National Alliances, WEA’s Task Forces and Commissions along with WEA’s global office with donors whose interests match its vision and strategies. This position is currently open. WEA and Its Mission The World Evangelical Alliance is a global network of some 130 National Alliances, seven Regional Alliances, and a dozen Task Forces and Commissions. National Alliances, raised up and led by indigenous leaders in their respective countries, serve the body of Christ by uniting Evangelicals in common purpose, and addressing needs related to their national issues. When a government inflames religious nationalism, the Alliance becomes a representing voice before governments and courts. In the face of an oppressive religious majority, it initiates an international response. In times of competitive action among churches, it nurtures unity in prayer and common witness. In times of crisis, it serves as facilitator of volunteers and funds. In concern for the spiritual well-being of its civic society, an Alliance will lead in concerted prayer and public engagement towards national renewal. Because a National Alliance’s vision is shaped and driven by the gifting, passion and ability of its leaders, WEA’s focus is to help facilitate them to lead their country in Christ-honoring and transforming ways. This historic community of Evangelicals, formed in 1846, in refreshing its vision and recalibrating its organization, is on the edge of ministry and service such as it has never known. Key to its renewed vision and contending strategies is the building of a community of support that will underwrite the advocacy of Christians trapped in places of restriction and persecution, support the Global Institute of Leadership, enables WEA’s central communication platform of connectivity and information, assists its Task Forces and Commissions and empowering leadership in the sustainable funding of Regional and National Evangelical Alliances.
