“Let my heart be broken for the things that break the heart of God” – Robert Pierce, Founder of World Vision International
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. They work in nearly 100 countries, serving all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. They provide emergency assistance to children and families affected by natural disasters and civil conflict, work with communities to develop long-term solutions to alleviate poverty, and advocate for justice on behalf of the poor. Motivated by their faith in Jesus Christ, they serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people.
With 44,000 staff members worldwide, World Vision brings sponsors and donors alongside children and communities in nearly 100 countries. They strive to integrate lasting solutions to the root causes of poverty and sharing God’s hope for a brighter future with each community they serve. Their scope of oversight includes, but is not limited to: health, clean water, education, food and agriculture, child protection, economic development, work here in the United States, and disaster relief.

Other pertinent experience could include: business to business sales (3+ years), business to consumer sales (3+ years), fundraising and/or consulting with large churches (3+years), mission work with fundraising responsibilities, or major donor fundraising with a nonprofit organization.

The Major Church Advisor to the Southeast will reside in one of these states.
