Pastoral Coach

Be Part of Something Eternal

Nearly 2 billion Muslims have never heard the saving message of Jesus Christ. At Frontiers, we believe God is calling His Church to change that. We partner with local churches to send workers to the Muslim world—workers who make disciples and plant churches where the Gospel has never been heard.

If you’re passionate about mobilizing the Church for global mission and equipping leaders to fulfill the Great Commission, this role is for you.

Coaching. Support. Shepherd.

As a Pastoral Coach, you’ll come alongside field workers serving around the world, providing spiritual encouragement, prayer, coaching, and relational support so they can thrive in their walk with Jesus and remain effective in their ministry. If you have a heart for missions, a passion for caring for others, and a desire to invest in the wellbeing of cross-cultural workers, this is an opportunity to make a lasting Kingdom impact.

At Frontiers, we believe God is calling His Church to bring the Gospel to the least-reached Muslim peoples. Our field workers serve in some of the most challenging and spiritually significant places on earth. Through intentional relationships, pastoral care, and Christ-centered coaching, the Barnabas Team helps sustain and strengthen those on the front lines of ministry. As a Pastoral Coach, you will play a vital role in encouraging, equipping, and caring for workers as they faithfully pursue God's calling among the nations.

About the Role

As a Pastoral Coach, you will:

• Seek to develop and maintain active relationships with field workers and their teams.
• Read newsletters and email updates from selected Frontiers field workers to keep track of their status and general wellbeing.
• Seek to debrief field workers upon their home assignment and follow up as necessary.
• When workers return from the field in transition or in another type of extended field leave, provide pastoral leadership and accountability as needed.
• Establish a rhythm of prayer and spiritual support encouraging field workers to thrive in their relationship with Jesus.
• Initiate relationships with workers at every opportunity. Seek to be available for encouragement, coaching, counseling and prayer.
• Raise 100% of your financial support (salary, benefits, ministry expenses)

What We’re Looking For

• A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a heart for missions
• Previous missions experience either 2-3 years living overseas or extensive interaction with field workers.

• Heart for missions, cross cultural workers, Muslims and pastoring others.
• Ability to travel 2-3 times per year and willing to raise funds as needed for coaching trips and IC.

• Pastoral or Life Coaching experience preferred.
• A track record of being sought by people for pastoring, especially by field workers.
• Ability to travel occasionally and raise personal support
• Spiritual gifts in leadership, encouragement, and teaching
• Ability to raise and maintain personal support
