African Enterprise is a Christian ministry partnership based in ten African countries, serving the church in Africa. Its primary focus is evangelism and ministries of reconciliation. It also has a range of aid and development projects. Outside of Africa AE has a number of support ministries. In Australia, African Enterprise raises support for its partners in Africa and seeks to raise awareness of the spiritual and physical needs in that vast continent.

We are looking for a Director of Youth Ministry Development who will work towards developing existing relationships and building new relationships with youth groups, individuals and organisations. The main objective of the role is to ensure there is a new generation of under 35's eager to be involved in supporting the ministry of AE with their prayers, finances and time. Applicants will need to demonstrate the capacity to maintain existing programs and the initiative to develop new programs that facilitate the building of partnerships that will advance the gospel in Africa.

The role will include raising support for AE’s Africa-based youth ministry teams; arranging and leading our Short Term Missions Program (3-5 week group tours to the mission field); managing our Internship Program (3-12 month working programs for individuals in Africa); and the recruitment and support of volunteer representatives in Australian churches.

This role would suit a person who has a heart for assisting in the growth of the church in Africa and is prepared to travel both within Africa and Australia. Leadership, oral/written communication and organisational skills are essential as well as good computer literacy.
