POSITION BACKGROUND & VISION

To reach our nation and the world for Christ, we need to see churches, colleges, para-church organisations, and denominations growing an increasing number of mature disciples who present and proclaim Jesus to the people around them. To do that, we need to raise up godly and gifted gospel workers who can disciple, lead, teach, and train the saints for the mission. That’s why MTS has been focused on partnering with the local church and other gospel-minded organisations to “…multiply gospel workers through ministry apprenticeships”. Since our inception in 1978, we have seen over 3,500 men and women complete ministry apprenticeships with over 1,250 of them now in vocational gospel work. However, if we are going to see Australia won for Christ, we need to raise up many more people for ministry now and into the future. That’s why we have prayerfully committed to build a team of partnership developers who will grow and strengthen our partnerships with local churches, training centres, and like-minded organisations to multiply the number of apprentices over the next three years and into the future.

The Regional Partnership Developer for South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales was birthed out of this vision, with a particular view of extending the MTS movement, and raising up more gospel workers within that area and beyond.
