• Promoting sustainable agricultural and animal husbandry practices and providing training in these areas.
• Investigating, developing and facilitating sustainable agricultural and community garden projects with indigenous people groups.
• Sharing the hope you have with non-believers and discipling believers in a low key manner as you use your skills in agriculture.

Candidates should have technical preparation and experience and the willingness to learn and adapt their skills to the needs of rural Ecuadorian communities. Bible knowledge and biblical orientation for holistic community development are required. The job requires teaching, communication skills, project funding communications, and follow-up. A willingness to live, work and travel in remote isolated areas; and an ability to collaborate with a multi-cultural team of professionals with varied skills are required.
