Candidate 24

When I saw your ad, I rushed to send my resume for your review and consideration. As a Church who seeks to follow Christ in their lives, I would like to share in that life by modeling the way and helping many and even those who do not know him to follow in his footsteps.

I hold a Master in Theology and have 6 years experience in a church setting. My current position as minister in charge in the Reformed Church in Zambia has given me an opportunity to serve the people of God and the surrounding community. As minister in charge my duty has been to provide leadership in the congregation, conduct marriages, administer sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, and perform funeral rites, pastoral care and reach out to those who do not know Christ. As pastor of the congregation I have been resolving conflict not only to the members of the church but also in the community where I have been serving and also pre marital and post-marital counseling in the community. Furthermore, as a pastor I am also oversee the youth, women’s and men’s fellowship. This has made me develop and practice skills in dealing with different ministries in the church but also oversee the youths in my region. As a Pastor I would be excited to be part of a team which desires to know God who revealed himself in Christ Jesus so as to make him know to the world.

I look forward to your call to discuss this opportunity and I am available to suit your schedule. Thank you for your time and consideration.
