Believing that numerous individuals over the years have received their call to ministry or had their call affirmed through an experience in the camping program, the Enlistment & Interpretation Committee of The Board of Ordained Ministry would like to hire an individual for the “God’s Call Counselor” position.  In this position, the counselor acts as a liaison between the BOOM (specifically, the E & I Comm.) and the Susquehanna Conference camping program.  The counselor would target some of the camps geared towards junior/senior high youth at each of the campsites and work under the direction of the Camp dean and the week-to-week camp staff to introduce campers to consider where God may be leading them.  This can be done in a variety of ways, depending upon the opportunities provided by the Camp Dean.  The counselor will be paid a weekly stipend of $300.00 per week in salary with no personal expense for room and board at each camp.  In addition to the salary, business travel miles will be reimbursed per current IRS rate at the end of the summer upon submission of a travel log.

 A college graduate is preferred, but more important is a basic knowledge of the ordination/consecration process (and other related forms of ministry) and the opportunities the annual conference provides for discerning one’s call.

 Applications are due by April 15, 2012.  For more information go to www.susumc.org, click on Connectional Ministries, Board of Ordained Ministry and Resources or contact Pastor Jay Jones at pastorjay@wesleybloom.org. 

 Thanks,
