IDES FIELD WORKERS

What's a Field Worker?
Field Workers are full-time missionaries sent by IDES to meet long-term physical and spiritual needs in a specific community.
Vision:
Field Workers are equipped and trained individuals or teams who partner with indigenous people to transform their communities. In addition, they are our 'boots on the ground' in that area, to assist us to evaluate, assess and execute projects, to maximize their kingdom impact!
​
Development:
Field workers seeking to bring about transformational change in their communities through collaborative relationships and long-term solutions, such as clean water projects, occupational training, and medical care.
Disciple Making:
Field workers are trained to use Integral Disciple Making (IDM)-- a ‘new/old' strategy and practice of Kingdom building. Modeled from the integral mission of Jesus, whose demonstrated the proclaimed Word by His acts of love and compassion, IDM copies that model by seeking to share the hope of the gospel alongside of practical help.
​​
Disaster Response:
Field workers act as our first responders and establish initial contact and direct 'boots on the ground' insight when disasters strike in their regions thus enabling us to respond more proactively than ever before!



In 2022, we began praying for God’s direction on how to expand our international disaster response and development efforts. God answered, and began laying on our hearts an idea which eventually developed into a decision to expand our team with addition of long-term Field Workers.
​
​​As God continued to answer those prayers and open doors for us, we hired a Field Services Director in 2023 and brought our first Field Workers on to the IDES team.
We can’t wait to see how God uses our team to grow His Kingdom as we continue praying for new opportunities both with our existing field workers and with new ones to come in the future!

A foundation of prayer...
