Use your communication skills to help inspire the UK Church to participate in sharing the gospel with people in hard-to-reach places.
About us
At Feba UK, we are passionate about God’s mission, and the creative use of radio and other audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in places considered closed or hard-to-reach: where people might not hear the gospel by any other means, or where it’s difficult to be a Christian.
About our development
Since Feba UK was established 65 years ago to help communicate the gospel by shortwave radio, much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.
We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local partners with training, expertise, prayer, and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in the listener’s ‘heart language’. Radio and other audio technology means they can reach people at scale and follow up in-person as listeners respond.
Today, our model of working with local, indigenous partners has a powerful impact in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
About the role
We now seek a Head of Communications and Engagement to focus on engaging the Church in the UK, where increasingly fewer churches see world mission as a priority. This role will take the lead on changing this, inspiring the Church through Feba UK’s ministry, reawakening its members to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring transformation to some of the most disadvantaged and oppressed communities around the world.
About you
You will be a communications and engagement leader with a track record of developing and delivering high impact communication strategies who is adept in using digital and non-digital media. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration, and you will have a passion for mission.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached. Closing date 6th January.
