Feba is a Christian mission charity passionate about God's mission and the creative use of radio and audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. It has a particular heart for people in contexts considered closed, where people might not hear the gospel by any other means or where it's difficult to be a Christian.

Founded 65 years ago as a shortwave radio ministry, Feba now supports local partners across Africa, Asia and the Middle East with training, expertise and funding, so they can produce culturally appropriate content in a listener's 'heart language' and follow up in person wherever possible.

We're looking for a Church Relations Officer to join Feba's Supporter Engagement Team. With a passion for global mission, you'll take charge of developing Feba's partnerships with churches across the UK, encouraging congregations to pray for and support the work, while strengthening and growing Feba's team of volunteers.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Share powerful stories of transformed lives through preaching, speaking and representing Feba at churches, conferences and festivals nationwide.
• Lead and grow Feba's church engagement programme, creating opportunities for more churches and supporters to discover and support the ministry.
• Recruit, equip and encourage volunteers to become passionate advocates for Feba and its global ministry.
• Create compelling resources and communications that inspire prayer, generosity and deeper engagement with God's work around the world.
• Work alongside the Supporter Communications Officer to create engaging resources and stories that inspire churches to pray, give and partner with Feba's ministry.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a warm, Christ-centred team where daily prayer and shared reflection are part of the rhythm of work, and where the charity, from top to bottom, is ready to support you every step of the way.

Why work for Feba?

• 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
