Papua New Guinea: Missionary Kid Teacher

Opportunities

A teacher is needed to organize curriculum and teach WGM missionary kids in Papua New Guinea.

Qualifications

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree, preferably in education. The teacher also needs to be organized and have the ability to oversee and teach students in multiple grades at the same time.

Location

Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea.

Length of Service

• Mid-term: six to twenty-four months
• Long-term: two or more years

Ministry Description

There are currently 14 WGM missionary kids whose parents serve in PNG. Although not all of these children are on the field at the same time, they are all homeschooled by their mothers. This means that four missionary moms/wives are busy homeschooling and are unable to be involved in other ministries.

Quick Facts

• With over 800 languages, PNG is linguistically the world’s most complex nation. Church services are conducted and Bibles are written in Melanesian Pidgin, the local trade language.

• Men and women have very distinct roles in Papua New Guinean society. Women in the garden, take care of the children and pigs, and look after the home while men traditionally handle all negotiations.
