Designated Mission Co-Worker in El Salvador
Listed 12-01-2020
Employer: Our Sister Parish, Inc., PO Box 71632, Clive, IA 50325 | | www.oursisterparish.org
Location: El Salvador
Start Date: 06-30-2021
Type: Full Time
Applications accepted until position is filled. To apply, please send a resume, cover letter, and three references with contact information to osp@oursisterparish.org.
Language Requirements: English and Spanish Position Location: The mission co-worker will live in the Pastoral House in Berlín, El Salvador. Berlín is located in the department of Usulután and is approximately two and a half hours from the capital city of San Salvador. It is made up of an urban center of about 12,000 people and is surrounded by 17 cantons, with a combined population of 25,000. It is a largely agricultural community, as it is surrounded by coffee plantations and rural communities of subsistence farmers.
Mission Statement:
Our Sister Parish (OSP) Mission is a nonprofit organization and a faith-based ecumenical effort designed to bring hope and social development to the poor of the town of Berlín, El Salvador, particularly those who live in cantons of Berlín. Our goal is to raise awareness of and embrace solidarity by developing committed relationships within churches in the U.S. and with our brothers and sisters in El Salvador. In the relationships that develop between U.S. churches and the poor of the cantons, faith will grow and the love of God will be profoundly experienced for all involved. The Mission is administered cooperatively by Our Sister Parish Board and the Pastoral Team of Berlín.
Mission Partners:
Pastoral Team (Berlin, El Salvador)
The Pastoral Team, made up of members of the cantons of Berlín, has served the people of Berlín for more than twenty-five years. They organize and educate community leaders, facilitate project requests, financially manage projects, fulfill basic requests for health, education, food, and clothing that come to them every day, and provide pastoral care to the people of Berlín.
Our Sister Parish Board (Iowa)
The OSP Board is an ecumenical steering committee of volunteers from partner churches working with the Pastoral Team to facilitate and support the mission. Their responsibilities include educating people in the Des Moines Presbytery and others about the work of the mission. They assist churches that wish to organize delegations, promote mission projects, fundraise, and help the churches of Iowa work together to improve the lives of the people in Berlín. The OSP Board also supports and advises the Mission Co-Worker as he/she works on behalf of the mission.
Presbytery of Des Moines (Iowa)
Located in the heart of Iowa, the Presbytery of Des Moines consists of fifty-four churches across twenty-five counties of south-central Iowa for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Several of the churches share partnerships with cantons of Berlín, El Salvador.
Programs and Accomplishments of the Organization:
Churches of the Des Moines Presbytery are invited to partner with cantons in Berlín. Currently, there are eleven official church/canton relationships. Churches and their sister cantons establish covenants with one another. As a part of that, the churches commit to visit their sister canton regularly to know the people, their hopes and needs. From those visits, the church commits to helping the canton achieve the goals defined during the visits of the delegations. Projects thus far have included water, solar, latrines, and construction of community centers and churches.
Additional churches and communities support various projects in the cantons surrounding Berlín.
An OSP-sponsored medical delegation visits Berlín each year for the purpose of providing health exams and medicines to the poor.
Don Justo Coffee with Dignity is an economic development project of the organization.
Education support includes scholarships for students who want to continue on to high school and, in a limited number of cases, to higher education. Support has also included the purchase of student uniforms and infrastructure projects for marginalized schools. Many delegations bring school supplies when they visit.
A limited number of cantons receive help with the purchase of fertilizer at crop planting time each year. Additional communities are supported with the coffee sale proceeds.
Background Information about the Mission:
Our Sister Parish Mission officially began in 2001 in the Pastoral House of Berlín. Before that time, six Salvadorans worked informally out of the local parish church in social mission, but the resources were limited. The current six members, who are now known now as the Pastoral Team, possess organizational skills from their experience. They are gifted with a theology that embraces liberation for the poor that was formed by living through a 12-year-long civil war from 1980 to 1992. They believe in mission to the masses not to individual needs (though naturally many individual needs are met in the giving of food, clothing, and medicines out of the Pastoral House). Their commitment to provide social support is impressive. Some do this work without being provided a salary, even though they work nearly full-time in the effort. Others might receive a small monthly stipend if sufficient money is available. One person is regularly paid a small monthly salary. Two members of the Pastoral Team are trained Delegates of the Word, and one is a Catechist.
Likewise, the OSP Board brings gifts to the table. Members of that group coordinate the Mission on the U.S. end, and most have visited the cantons of Berlín. Most belong to a church that has a sister canton or in some other way relates to the poor of El Salvador. They know and understand the justice needs of the people and live a faith that promotes projects supported by the church.
Key Theological Issues Reflected in the Ministry:
Our mission is reflected in the words of the Old Testament prophet Micah (6:8), “He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” And in the words of Jesus from Matthew 25:40, “Truly I tell you, as you did it to the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” The work of the Mission seeks justice in the form of a livelihood for the poor of Berlín. Food for the table, clean water, education, safe homes, medical care and jobs are among the justice issues that are defined by the Pastoral Team. Having lived through a civil war, the Team and those who work with the Team understand the fears and needs created by violence. Thus, non-violence is touted, a reflection of the kindness urged by the prophet Micah. Jesus, in identifying with the poor and oppressed, invites us into this same solidarity. And for all involved, it is a walk with God...always humble in perception and nature.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
Major Responsibilities:
Meet with the Pastoral Team regularly to build consensus in program and project areas. All work is accomplished in conjunction with the Pastoral Team.
Provide schedules and budgets for visiting delegations. Ensure all resources are secured, including transportation, food, housing, and translation. Meet the delegations at the airport and stay with them through the entire time of their visit.
Provide communication (including translation of documents and letters) between the Pastoral Team, the Our Sister Parish board, and sister churches that have working relationships with cantons.
Develop a working knowledge of sites and organizations that will assist delegations to understand the social, political and religious dimensions of El Salvador. It is also important for delegations to understand the history of violence suffered by the people of this land, and the continued violence that is exhibited from the deep roots of repression and injustice experienced by the poor of El Salvador.
Return to Iowa, at least twice a year, to report to the OSP Board and meet with partner congregations for updates, education, and possible fundraising.
Characteristics and Qualifications:
Faith-based, compassionate, able to live in and understand the Salvadoran culture
Displays a non-judgemental, cool-headed, and balanced demeanor
Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking in Spanish
Skill in working as a collaborative team member
Capacity to drive a car/pickup, including a manual transmission
Ability to use a computer and keep accurate files and records
Able to walk long distances
In good health and able to perform physical duties
The desire to love the poor of El Salvador

Solo Pastor - Greeley, CO
Listed 11-20-2020
Employer: Family of Christ Presbyterian Church, 2410 35th Ave., Greeley, CO 80634 | 970-330-0301 | focgreeley.org
Location: Greeley, CO
Start Date: 02-01-2021
Type: Part Time
We’re looking for a half-time pastor (with benefits package!) who will fit well with a quirky, progressive, open and affirming, highly educated collection of theological misfits who are small but mighty in our community presence. Check out our MIF #10247.AD0 at the Church Leadership Connection.
Our Mission Study found many assets at Family of Christ. Tangible means such as property are complemented by human resources. While our hands are not idle, many of our strengths lie with the heart and the mind. We are blessed with numerous professional, artistic and intellectual talents. Less tangible still, yet all the more important for its immeasurable potential, is the spiritual richness of a deeply caring family of believers and inquirers. Our commitment to the congregation’s heritage of social consciousness and action calls us to reach out to address the emerging needs we witness both around us and among us. In times of hostility against newcomers, we must demonstrate radical hospitality toward those in our constituency who are in need and in danger. In times of violence and discrimination against the marginalized, we must reflect the divine love demonstrated by Christ as we work for equality and justice, particularly through our commitments as a More Light congregation. In times of political strife we must turn our cheeks and open our minds toward the polarized in our community. In times of unprecedented income inequality, we must put into action the exhortations of John 3:11. We must minister to the needs of the aging in our midst. We must welcome the energy of the youthful to our fold and share our experience and guidance as they confront the potential of a menacing future. Critically, we must work to preserve God’s gift of nature, the blessing that sustains us all.
A called pastor will provide continuity of leadership while creating a vibrant space in services for hearts and minds to be nourished. By acting as a hub and maintaining a bird’s-eye view to assist all our parts to work as a whole while advocating for our priorities both within and without the walls of our building, the pastor will help keep our gears turning smoothly. A self-differentiated individual will help maintain a steady spirit as we face the challenges of rehabilitating an historic structure with depleted financial reserves. This must all be accomplished while also prioritizing making people feel seen and heard whether visiting for a single Sunday or serving for (yet another) term on Session.
Our congregation has committed to being an inclusive, progressive, and radically hospitable place: a Micah 6:8 church where we “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.” We need a ministerial partner who is a spiritually mature, compassionate communicator and who will motivate, encourage, and inspire us to the hard work of achieving these goals. We require someone who will organize and coordinate our energies with a collaborative model and who understands deeply the need for interpersonal engagement both inside the church and in the wider community so that we may thrive and grow in both number and spirit. Taking on the financial responsibilities of moving and rehabilitating the Bessie Smith House, an historic home, has strained the church budget, which is why Funds Developer is among our desired competencies. A minister who oversees this must possess personal resilience and an ability to self-differentiate, so that this task isn’t overwhelming. We delight in a sense of humor, honor the spirituality of the arts and thirst for the challenge of growing spiritually in a welcoming, nurturing, safe environment where all can be trusted and respected. Some in our congregation bear the scars of other religious experiences where the answer was more important than the questions. A ministerial partner who is authentic, intellectually curious and flexible, open and sensitive to each individual’s need to be seen and heard, and who is compassionate in care would be a great fit.
