Medical work is only expected to be part time the rest of the time is for visiting families and contacts to share the gospel, discipleship of new believers and or Bible teaching, depending on gifting. Applicants will be expected to acquire a good level of Shuwa Chadian Arabic which they will learn in Chad before and during term of ministry. They will be part of the WEC team in Abeche and will therefore be expected to be an integral part of that team with the goal of planting a mature expanding church among the Eastern peoples of Chad.

Requirements

Medical personnel of any sort is very welcome here in Chad. (It is one of the poorest countries with very little in the way of medical assistance.) Have a passion for Jesus and good Biblical knowledge. Some cross-cultural training (minimum – WEC Trek course, if coming out as a short termer). Have a basic understanding and appreciation of folk Islamic belief and culture. French is a pre-requisite for career missionaries on the WEC Chad field. It would be helpful for short termers (i.e 1-2 years) to have some French. A willingness to learn and adapt to a new culture and to travel frequently is essential. Applicants who have some knowledge of Arabic but no French will be considered.

How is WEC different from other missionary organizations?

Each missionary organization has its own identity, and none is necessarily better than another. What truly matters is finding a mission that aligns with your calling, your values, and the purpose God has placed in your heart.

At WEC, our focus is to bring the gospel to places where it has not yet been proclaimed. Everything we do, whether through short-term or long-term ministries, is aimed at seeing Christ-centered communities emerge among unreached peoples.

No matter how long you serve or what gifts, skills, and experiences you bring, your involvement will be part of a greater vision: to see disciples of Jesus raised up in places where the gospel is still unknown. That might mean going to remote regions, facing cultural challenges, or walking alongside local churches in difficult contexts.

Through partnerships with African churches, we seek to reach these hearts with the hope of Christ.

Is God calling you to be part of this mission?

What opportunities are there?

Currently, we have around 500 open opportunities to serve among unreached peoples. You can learn more by visiting our website.

Can I choose where I go?

Where you will serve and what your ministry will be are often two of the biggest questions people consider. We will work with you and your church to discern the direction the Lord is leading. At the same time, you need to carefully consider WEC as an organization and whether you and your church would be happy to partner with us.
