Linguæ Christi seeks to recruit both new ministry partners as well as field personnel from many areas of the world. For new missionary personnel, having knowledge of the “trade” language is very helpful and sometimes essential in ministry among speakers of indigenous minority languages. Because there are between 8 and 13 million speakers of indigenous minority languages on the Iberian Peninsula, Spanish speakers are a strategic priority both for mobilisation of new ministry partners and on-field personnel recruitment.
Ideal candidates would be fluent in Spanish and English with either native or C1 proficiency. Pastoral experience or training would also be very helpful.
As essential component of our work is connecting with people all across the world who are responding to God’s call to serve indigenous minority communities in Europe. This role monitors and expands Linguæ Christi’s presence on social media channels. These are important venues where the mission both promotes it work by educating followers about minority language communities in Europe and by soliciting prayer, donations, and volunteers for our work. In the past Linguæ Christi has made new connections through social media and it is likely this will continue with good management of these outlets.
Ideal candidates would have a background or interest in communications and be able to operate in a professional manner when communicating online.
As essential component of our work is sharing how others can join us in prayer for the people groups we serve and for specific items within our lives and ministries. This role assembles and publishes Linguæ Christi’s monthly prayer calendar. The prayer calendar provides supporters and partners with daily prayer prompts that come from Linguæ Christi staff and volunteers. This role will provide prompts to staff for submissions and assemble and disseminate prayer requests through social media.
Ideal candidates would have some basic experience in graphic design and social media management.
As essential component of our work is sharing with others how God is at work in Europe and within our lives and ministries here. This role issues prompts to Linguæ Christi staff and volunteer for articles, reflections, and media and then assembles submissions for posts to Linguæ Christi’s blog and newsletter. This is one of the primary ways that news and information is disseminated to the mission’s supporters and network. Posts are made in a quarterly rhythm with a corresponding newsletter.
Ideal candidates would have a background or interest in communications and professional experience in writing or editing.
Linguæ Christi’s work is supported almost exclusively by financial gifts from individuals and churches. This role monitors donations to Linguæ Christi from individuals, churches, and other organisations. Linguæ Christi receives donations primarily in the U.S. and in the UK from two online giving platforms, but other donations also arrive via cheque and bank transfer. Occasionally donations are sent from other places in the world. This role is responsible for tracking donations, providing regular reports to the Honorary Treasurer and the Board of Trustees, and thanking donors. This role could be combined with another role in advancement or fundraising.
Ideal candidates would enjoy speaking to people, have a background in customer service, and would be familiar with using a database.
This team will be focusing on Catalan speakers within the autonomous region of Catalonia in Spain. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
Linguæ Christi has embraced the calling of addressing the spiritual needs of speakers of ALL the indigenous, minority languages in the European/Eurasian context (from Portugal in the West to Siberia in the East). Much as we have done among speakers of Celtic languages for the past 20 years, we intend to begin new work with other European minority languages groups. Over the next 2-5 years specifically, it is our desire to open new work in at least two to three new areas. To begin this work, we want to send some specialised teams of students to do some initial exploring in those areas and among those languages groups.

Language
As the trade language in Andorra is Spanish (Castilian), it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in Spanish before arrival (level A2 or higher), or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in Spanish before arrival on field. No knowledge of Catalan is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to Catalan will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
Short-term missions projects have become a strategic and effective way to contribute to the local work of missions among people groups and areas across the world. We’ve welcomed short-term teams for over 20 years into a variety of contexts and projects in Europe.
Our programme consists of in-depth missiological training, spiritual formation, and language study. Each of these elements are designed to equip and encourage participants to join God’s mission to bring his Good News to the nations. For more information about our programme, please view our short-term project page.
The day-to-day work of discipleship often takes its toll on the attention we give the systems and services that are typically humming away in the background. And yet, how we handle finances and manage resources is of critical importance to our mission.
We’re looking for a team who can help us track the donations for and expenses of individual short-term teams. In addition to this focus, our programme consists of in-depth missiological training, spiritual formation, and language study. Each of these elements are designed to equip and encourage participants to join God’s mission to bring his Good News to the nations. For more information about our programme, please view our short-term project page.
Applicants for this team should have some prior training, gifts, skills, or practical experience in (1) accounting, (2) business, (3) entrepreneurship, (4) administration, or (5) investments.
This team will explore a particular language group and the area, where they live. Though we have been doing various types of ministry in the Celtic nations for over 20 years, our independent missionary agency/organisation, Linguæ Christi, has now embraced the calling of addressing the spiritual needs of speakers of ALL the indigenous, minority languages in the European/Eurasian context (from Portugal in the West to Siberia in the East). Much as we have done among speakers of Celtic languages for all these years, we intend to begin new work with other European minority languages groups, organised by linguistic affinity. Over the next 2–5 years specifically, it is our desire to open new work in at least two to three new linguistic affinity areas. With that in mind, we would like to send some specialised teams of students to do some initial exploring in those areas and among those languages groups, where Linguæ Christi intends to open new work in the foreseeable future.

This team will be focusing speakers of Sardinian on the island of Sardinia. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
Regarding language, as the trade language is Italian, though not strictly required, it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in Italian before arrival, or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in Italian before arrival on field. No knowledge of Sardinian is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to the specific minority language will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
This team will be focusing on Catalan speakers within the small nation of Andorra. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
