Electronics Technician (736)

Has God has given you a talent in getting electronics running again? 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. This causes a lot of stress for humans and devices. We have a small association which has different projects in literacy, health and agriculture to help the poor. As people are buying more and more electrical devices and spending a big portion of their available money on these devices, the stress rises with failures of small things (A fuse, a condenser…). Especially the poor people run in to difficulties rebuying broken devices, as they cost sometimes more than a month's salary.
We are aware that we are not able to change a whole society by ourselves, but we believe God will build his kingdom here. Our goal is not to repair as much or train as many people 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 in electronics. But if God calls you to minister to these people, he will take care of the these things.
