Finding Meaningful Work

DaveVonBieker — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:25:51 +0000

Organizations regularly recognize that our community is full of quality people, and that perhaps those people could come and join their team as well. Hence, we get sent job openings from time to time.

Traditionally, we have shared these in our View From the Bridge emails, in their entirety. We would like to be able to share these, and more, without clogging up your email inbox, as well as making them available to people who don’t receive our emails (though, you really should . Hence, the Job Opportunities page is born.

You can now view an ongoing list of opportunities for meaningful work here on our Job Opportunities page.

What Will YOU Give Away?

The Great Giveaway is our way of putting mercy ministry in the hands of every Christ-follower – not just in the hands of a select few “in leadership”.

We believe we are all called to follow the missional example of Christ, and to live out mercy wherever we live.

The Great Giveaway is a way to give flight to the mercy ideas of you and your smaller group. Over the past couple of years, we have built up a dedicated pool of funds just for mercy ministry, and we need your help to know how best to spend those dollars. If you or your smaller group are aware of a need, or can dream up a way to serve your community (be it a literal, physical neighborhood, your workplace or anywhere else you have connection), we want to support your vision financially.

The process is simple. Download the attached form, tell us the need, the cost and when you need the money. That’s it. That’s The Great Giveaway, and it can’t happen without YOUR vision.
