We Love Our Teachers!
That's the word
from an MAF mom, as she watches dedicated Christian teachers build
knowledge and life skills
into her children.
Even
though they are half a world away from their home country, she is
confident her children are receiving a first-rate education.
As a
qualified teacher, you will be an essential part of a team seeking to
provide access to the gospel, in a challenging and possibly isolated
location. One of the vital components in overcoming barriers to the Gospel
is quality education for the children of MAF families.
MAF
places teachers of all grade levels (K - 12) in a number of schooling
situations, ranging from one-room, multi-grade schools, to traditional
accredited international schools.
In addition to the minimum requirements for all MAF overseas staff,
consideration will be given to teaching candidates who possess...
-
A
teacher certification – Canadian Provincial or ACSI (Association of
Christian Schools International).
-
A
minimum of one-year full-time teaching experience.
-
A willingness to raise ministry partners for prayer and financial
support for the work of MAF.
2008-2009
We anticipate a continuing need for teachers – consider applying now for
2008-2009.

A word or two about the process of
applying for an overseas posting:
Considering a career with MAF isn't
like changing jobs here in Canada.
The very nature of our work, and the
places where we minister, require that all our candidates be
qualified and up to the task. As a result, the process
involved in applying with MAF as a career missionary can be a long
one, so
patience is a must.
But if you're serious about joining,
this is a good place to start.
First, please take a moment to read
our minimum standards and requirements for overseas service found to
the right. This list is by no means comprehensive, but
is designed to help you recognize if a career with MAF is right for
you.
If MAF is still where you want to be, let
us know of your area of interest and qualifications, by completing a
simple introductory questionnaire that gives us a chance to get to know
you.
To begin the application process,
simply click on the appropriate link above, or speak with an MAF
recruiter by calling our national office toll-free during regular
business hours at: 1.877.351.9344.
