The individual will engage students on several campuses. These students for the most part are bi-lingual, French/English. The purpose of engaging these students will be for developing relationships where the message of the gospel can be seeded, taught, and cultivated.

A sense of urgency and an entrepreneur spirit is a must for the student who will consider this request. The student should have some basic working knowledge of French.

The BSM has a strong tradition of ministry to the extensive international student community here at the University of Maryland. The process of reaching out to them is supported at the state level and among our many alumni. Ultimately, we desire to see these international students exposed to the gospel and a lifestyle of following Christ with devotion, and the campus welcomes our efforts. The semester missionary must be a self-starter, have a dynamic relationship with Christ, but also be willing to work on a team. ESL training is a plus. Of course, basic computer skills are necessary, as well as some cross-cultural experience. A passion for house churches is welcome.
