• This missionary would teach the concept of stewardship to clergy, lay leaders, and parishes throughout the region.
• He/she would help identify and initiate local business opportunities that could be run by the Church in order to help support the local priests and parish ministries.

• Minimum of a Master’s degree in theology; prefer Doctorate.
• Proficiency in Spanish.
• Prior teaching experience is desirable.
• Primary responsibility is teaching up to 20 hours of lectures per week; these lectures would need to be developed by the missionary (writing the lesson plans, creating essay prompts and homework assignments, grading the assignments).
• Oversee the ongoing development of seminary curriculum, deciding what topics need to be covered in each course and what courses should be in the seminary’s sequence of theology courses.
• Mentoring the seminarians which includes attending daily services, helping in the house where seminarians and missionaries live, and doing extra-curricular activities with the seminarians (hiking, traveling, occasional pastoral visits to other Orthodox communities, etc.).
• While some travel is required as part of groups, the missionary primarily would be stationed at the seminary and would not need to travel alone.

• This role requires proficiency in organizing groups, planning travel and hotel stays, excellent communication skills, and an ability to work with media (videos, photos, and social media).
• Prefer proficiency in Spanish. But at a bare minimum, basic Spanish conversational ability since the missionary’s efforts will be more oriented towards English-speaking missionaries and members of OCMC. The minimum requirement is that the missionary speak enough Spanish to be able to use public transportation alone in Guatemala and Mexico, have basic conversations with the Guatemalan priests, and be able to make hotel reservations in Spanish.
• The missionary will be in charge of communication with several groups of people simultaneously: the OCMC mission Team department, the Guatemalan clergy and leaders, the other long-term missionaries in Guatemala, and the incoming short-term mission team members. This role requires frequent travel, both in church vehicles (with drivers from the church provided) and also in public vans, buses, and pickup trucks.
• This role does not require a theological education, although it is always an additional asset to have a theological education and experience working in the Church.

• Proficiency in Spanish.
• Prior completion of a formal theological education that is both comprehensive and recognized by one of the Orthodox jurisdictions (for example, formal seminary graduates as well as graduates of programs such as the St. Stephen’s program).
• Preference given to people who have hands-on teaching experience in a church context (e.g. camp directors, pastoral assistants, youth directors, etc.) or who have some other type of teaching background.
• The missionary would lead/teach frequent retreats in important, centralized parishes across the mission field; these retreats should be part of an over-arching plan for teaching core tenants of the Orthodox faith to lay leaders, including catechists, youth groups, and other lay leaders.
• The missionary will focus not only on teaching but also on mentoring and equipping new teachers from among the lay leaders who would then go out to new regions of Guatemala to extend the educational program to areas that the missionary cannot visit.
• Requires travel independently across Guatemala and Mexico by using public vans, buses, and other vehicles.
• The missionary must be flexible/adaptable to many environments and living situations, and also must be adept at forming friendships with local Orthodox families because he/she will sleep in local people’s houses and eat with them when leading retreats.
• Musical talents would be a great advantage in adapting to local music customs which include Bible songs. 

• This role requires a strong proficiency in Spanish and, while not essential, a proficiency in Greek would also be very valuable.
• This missionary will be in charge of the liturgical texts that are used in Guatemala; he/she will compile and organize liturgical translations that have already been made in Spanish, and he/she also will translate new texts for the first time into Spanish.
• If the missionary does not read and write Greek, it will be possible to translate from English to Spanish. In that case, it will be essential to cultivate relationships with personal contacts who speak Greek and who can be consultants on how to understand the original meaning of the English liturgical texts.
• This missionary must also have the ability to learn the online translation framework that is used in the AGES project, and will be required to input texts into this computerized framework.
• This missionary must develop a strong relationship with the Archbishop of Mexico in order to receive hierarchical guidance on the liturgical texts and translations.
• Will require developing good relationships with the Guatemalan priests to facilitate training them in how to use online liturgical resources.
• This role will require minimal travel.

• This missionary must have strong Spanish proficiency to be able to write educational resources in Spanish.
• This role requires a Master’s degree in theology and at least some experience in education or pastoral work.
• The missionary would work closely with the other long-term missionaries and the Guatemalan clergy to write new Spanish-language church publications based on the curriculum goals that the other missionaries have set for their teaching projects in the seminary and with the lay leaders.
• In addition to creating new publications, he/she also will seek theological books and resources that have already been produced in Spanish, will collect those resources and maintain a catalog and library of all such resources for the use of the priests, missionaries, and other church leaders.
• This missionary will oversee the printing and binding of books using the church’s printing equipment.
• This role does not require extensive travel as the missionary primarily will be based in one location, with only occasional excursions to parishes or to special activities.

• Proficiency in Spanish, being able to preach and teach extemporaneously.

• This role requires an ordained priest who has significant pastoral and liturgical experience. His focus will be twofold: (1) develop bonds with the Guatemalan priests to mentor and teach them the church services and grow their knowledge of Orthodox theology; the church services must be taught according to the liturgical practices of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. (2) Work as a supply priest to cover the Guatemalan priests when they need someone to perform a Liturgy, baptism, marriage, etc.
• Regular travel required. The missionary would be based out of a central location but must be willing to travel long distances to any of the Orthodox churches across Guatemala and southern Mexico. Travel will usually be accomplished by going in a church vehicle and a driver will normally be provided; however, this missionary should slowly develop the ability to travel more independently when necessary.
• This missionary must be willing to sing Bible songs with church musical groups in a lively and joyful manner, because these songs are a very important component to parish visits.
