Systems Administrator

Are you ready to use your IT skills to reach the least reached for Christ?

Would you enjoy working with a global team and enabling the ministry done?

The North Africa Middle East region (NAME) is populated with the hardest people groups to reach. In many parts of the region, we cannot send missionary workers, but we can support media ministry that crosses borders through media outreach, including production studios, social media, FM and online radio, training, and support. We also work closely with local churches in our area of Spain. The NAME Region office is a workplace as well as a 24/7 FM radio station with studios and live on-air facilities.

This is how we are working to help fulfill the Great Commission of Christ. Will you join us?
