IMB seeks teachers, healthcare workers, business professionals to serve as missionaries
Many Southern Baptists picture missionaries as church planters and evangelists, but International Mission Board leaders say some of today's biggest needs are for professionals whose work happens behind the scenes.
Teachers, healthcare workers, counselors, accountants, logistics specialists and member care personnel help advance the Great Commission in ways many churches never see, IMB leaders say.
Doreen Baker, IMB director of TCK (third culture kid) education, who taught in Asia for 25 years, says teachers are needed in international schools and other settings for missionary kids. "Teachers are significant in that not only are they providing instruction for students, but they are an integral part of the core missionary task," she said.
