Opportunity Overview:
Are you a health care professional looking to use your professional skills in loving service in God’s Kingdom? SEND Central Asia seeks to launch pioneering, gospel-focused, co-vocational, healthcare professionals to join our partner organization in reaching majority Muslim peoples who have almost no chance of hearing about Jesus. While you learn language and culture, and then enter local communities to care for the health of people here, you will also represent and share about our King Jesus. Deep partnership with teammates and local believers is vital to introduce people to Jesus and to encourage those who choose to follow him and become more like him.
Countries: Central Asia
Terms: Mid-Term (1 - 3 years), Long-Term (3+ years)
We are looking for doctors, nurses, lab technicians, x-ray technicians, medical office managers, and various other specialties. We are mainly partnering with a local, private healthcare clinic with limited facilities that do include exam rooms, an operating room, limited lab facilities, and teaching space. There are opportunities to teach medical students and to work with an international staff from a variety of cultures and training backgrounds.
This is a support-raising position, with limited income-making potential at the present time.
Anyone who comes as a healthcare worker will need to agree to prioritize language and culture learning for the first two years of their first term and continuing, to some degree, for the duration of their service.
Currently, this opportunity is located in a large city, but SEND and its partner organization are trusting God to allow us to expand to more remote parts of the country.
Our Local Vision
SEND Eurasia is trusting God to expand into a new location in Central Asia, a location that is home to 59 people groups, 34 of which are considered unreached (Joshua Project). In this Central Asia location, we work closely with our partner organization to build teams of co-vocational workers that can live long-term in communities, learn language and culture, and build trusting friendships by doing life together with local people. Loving people as we work in professions that develop local communities offers us many opportunities to build gospel-focused bridges into these local communities and opens doors for the Spirit to draw people to himself.
