Veterinary Technician (735)

Has God has given you a passion for animals? Do you have a heart to bring the gospel to the unreached? We invite you to help us develop relationships in which we can sow the word of God. We work in a spiritually and climatically harsh environment. The people are pastoralists and nomads moving with their cattle and livestock around. They are the nobility of their society even if many have difficult life circumstances. Not having a livestock means virtually not existing in society. We have a small association which has different projects in literacy, health and agriculture to help the poor. We would like in some way to serve the people in livestock support. If we can, with God's help, heal and take care of their issues with their livestock, we will be able to connect to the nobility of these people and bring God's word and the good news to the top of their culture. Our goal is not to heal as many animals as technically possible, but to build relationships with the people of peace around us and share the gospel and the Lord's love in these relationships.

Requirements
There is no church for spiritual nurturing. There is only a small group of mostly foreign believers. You must be well seated in Christ. You will need French for administrative issues. Further you need to be willing:
- to live a simple lifestyle
- to learn the local culture and language in depth
- to be part of that culture
- to learn from local people before wanting to teach anything
- to start up a small project with little resources to build Gods kingdom
- to drop a project again if it doesn’t help build Gods kingdom
- to be part of a multicultural team, work together closely and share life.

Ideally you are a person of action with a lot of patience and have know-how as a vet or of lifestock. But if God calls you to minister to these people, he will take care of the things you might be lacking.
