Organisational Context
Our Mission
Bringing the Message to the Original Messengers
Our Vision
Giving all Jewish people the opportunity to hear, understand and follow Yeshua the promised Messiah.
Our Purpose
Celebrate Messiah Australia exists because we recognise the biblical imperative to share the Gospel with God’s ancient people – the Jewish people. We recognise that the Jewish people, in Australia and worldwide, represent an unreached people group that need to hear about the love of God demonstrated in Yeshua the Messiah.
Organisational Activities
Celebrate Messiah is an interdenominational, evangelistic society dedicated to raising the banner of Messiah (Jesus) amongst God’s ancient people in Australia and abroad through our partnership with Chosen People Global Ministries. Celebrate Messiah has been operating since 1995 and our current activities in Australia include outreach work, congregations, conferences and training.
A key part of our work is to reach out to the wider body of Messiah to educate them of the Jewishness of Yeshua, the Jewishness of Christianity and the important role of Israel according to the bible. Our outreach workers work all over the country speaking in churches and events.
Primary Purpose of the Role
The role’s main aim is to contact churches and secure speaking engagements for our outreach workers. Some of the churches where our outreach workers speak have invited us before and know us well. Other churches do not know our ministry and you may be the first contact from Celebrate Messiah to introduce our work. Therefore, part of the role requires making ‘cold calls’. A good level of tenacity and persistence is helpful in these cases. Some churches may take 6 months to 2 years before they are willing to book our speakers for the first time.
The role requires communicating not only with churches by phone and email, but also liaising with our internal staff including our outreach workers when required. Our church bookings are all managed through our Salesforce database.
The role requires good verbal and written communication skills and an above-beginner level of computer skills. Training is provided.
The candidate will be able to work alone and be confident to reach out for help from the team when needed.
