We seek a Christian who demonstrates a deep and growing walk with the Lord Jesus that includes your personal growth and the ability to support others in their spiritual growth.

We want you to have a passion to reach the unreached with God's Word and his love.

We need for you to embrace the mission of JAARS: “We reduce barriers, ease burdens and deliver God’s Word. We do that by training, equipping, deploying and sustaining individuals, teams and stations to aid in the work of proclaiming the gospel to the whole creation.”

Our desire is that you consider whatever job you have at JAARS as a ministry that is helping to achieve our vision.

Our goal is to match your appropriate skills and experience to specific jobs. It also depends upon you being flexible and understanding that the length of your service affects what types of positions we can place you in.

JAARS has several positions that serve overseas including JAARS Pilot, JAARS Aviation Maintenance Technician, JAARS Avionics Technician and others.

Overseas positions will either say "Remote" or a region. If you are unsure if a position is an overseas position, ask our recruitment team by emailing recruitment@jaars.org.
