Blog: Witness Ambassadors: What do they do?

Do you desire to explore with us Witness Ambassadorship to make a transformative impact in your community and beyond? Our objectives at the SED are designed to equip you in this rewarding journey. We are calling all dedicated individuals to join us in this walk of faith, grace-fueled creativity, and intentional community outreach engagement. As a Witness Ambassador, you’ll have the opportunity to develop strategic outreach visions tailored to meet local needs, engage in meaningful peer-to-peer connections and mentorship, and utilize creative methods to spread the Gospel. Our witness initiative is committed to empowering individuals in their daily vocations, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and encouraging effective communication.

We understand that our congregational ministries at times get stuck or undergo challenging phases. Through the transformational process ministry constraints can be utilized as opportunities by infusing gospel-fueled purpose and renewed engagements. Furthermore, we encourage new mission initiatives and church-planting endeavors to expand the Lord’s kingdom’s reach.

If you feel called to be part of this dynamic team of witnesses, to grow in your faith while making a real difference in the lives of others, we want to hear from you. For more information on how you can be involved and take the next step in this fulfilling journey, please email Yared Halche at the SED office.
