Ideal Profile:
For those whose ambition it is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, this position offers a pioneer church planting role among the unreached in a remote jungle county of 30 small towns and communities. A To Every Tribe family has labored to establish a church in the largest county seat town, but there is a need for additional laborers to carry the gospel of Christ into the surrounding remote and hard-to-reach communities.
As a Remote Pioneer Church Planting Missionary, you will first attain high proficiency in Spanish and then integrate fully into the life and ministry of the existing church. In collaboration with the local believers, you will develop and implement a strategy for planting churches among the unreached Mestizo, Shuar, and Saraguro towns and communities throughout the county. You will be responsible for carrying out this strategy by working through the 8 Phases of Pioneer Church Planting, with the goal of seeing healthy, biblical churches established across the region.

- Great Commission Discipleship: Exhort the local church in the county seat town toward faithful obedience of Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations, including those within our county.
- Strategic Planning: Work alongside the local church to develop a plan for establishing healthy, biblical churches among the 30 unreached towns and communities of our county, involving local believers in both the planning and execution of the strategy.
- Implement the 8 Phases: Build trust, learn the culture, and preach the gospel. Nurture new believers through discipleship in the context of the local church, helping them to discover and use their spiritual gifts to serve one another in the body.
- Evangelistic Outreach: Help oversee evangelistic children’s Bible clubs, Sunday School, and English language classes as ministries of the church, always pointing all people to Christ.
- Short-Term Trips: Support visiting mission teams and volunteers, helping them adapt to the local context and ensuring their contributions align with the needs of the local church.
- Partnership: Communicate regularly with donors and supporting churches, providing updates on ministry activities and sharing prayer needs to strengthen partnerships.
