Finishing strong.
Are You a Finisher?

image

You’ve fulfilled career goals for your life. You’ve been involved in your local church.

You are among the estimated 200,000 evangelical Christians in Canada who will retire in this decade. You're part of the healthiest, best-educated generation of mid-lifers ever. You are a “finisher.”

That’s a name coined in Christian ministry circles to describe people like you who are middle-aged and mature in Christ. You want to finish your own personal race with excellence by making a career shift. So why not use your life, vocational skills and interests for focused ministry—in missions?

Where You Fit In

imageThis current and future global ministry needs people, both overseas in cross-cultural situations among dozens of countries, and right here in Canada serving with our home offices.

As for the length of stay, you can do a much-needed task for several months or several years. Opportunities vary considerably, as do the financial arrangements for Finishers in Wycliffe.

Beyond the Job

Wycliffe is looking for mature Christians who believe God is leading them in a new direction. You should be:

  • in good health
  • able to travel
  • able to adjust to new situations
  • motivated to serve, with a love for God, people and hard work!
  • able to develop a network of prayer and/or financial supporters.

To begin the application process, complete the self-assessment and then fill in the response form and we'll be in touch.

Next Steps

"My careers in both business management and government administration spanned more than 30 years. When I retired early, I soon realized I needed to do something with a purpose.
Since 2005, I've been helping place Canadian volunteers at Wycliffe centres in the U.S. and Mexico. My office is in my home and/or my motorhome (portable office), using my laptop (and SKYPE), as I travel south. I can still enjoy some recreational activities but at the same time, contribute my skills to help support the work of Bible translation."
