Leaders for 2013 Gap Teams

With the demand for places on our gap year teams increasing, the supply of leaders for these teams also needs to increase.

In contrast to some organisations, our gap year teams are led by older Christians, often in their mid or late 20s, who have some experience of leadership and Bible teaching. Whilst this helps practically with running the placements, the focus for the leaders is on discipling the team members.

Our hope and prayer is that each SMILER will return to the UK rooted and built up in Christ, primarily by having been taught God’s Word (and having opportunities to teach it) several times each week within the team context.

We are currently looking for 8 team leaders for the SMILE Gap Teams in 2013. We will need four female leaders, and four male leaders. It would be ideal to have found and appointed leaders before March, in order to be able to assure the team member applicants that their team can go ahead when they are interviewed at Easter. Without the right team leaders we cannot send out SMILE gap teams.

If you think you might be up for this joy and challenge, the please get in touch to find out more.
