General Information
Job Title:
Executive Director
Job Description:
- Personal Trainer
This is listed fourth, but it could be listed much higher. In India, utilizing Zoom, Tom Salter spends time five days a week training pastors. But with recruitment, and development of more Indian leaders, that could be phased out. In Africa, what used to be annual trips now are more likely, semi-annual in frequency. And honestly, with the strong leadership base, it could be virtually passed on (like a baton in a race) to African leaders.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
- At least an MA in Theology, Doctrine, or New (or Old) Testament
- Established spiritual maturity—good character (I Timothy 3:2)
- Some experience training pastors overseas
- Must feel a “burden” if not a “Calling” to train pastors overseas
- Some experience in raising funds to fulfill a budget
- Age wise—be 67 or younger

Barnabas Factor (Remote) – Executive Director
The Big Picture
Barnabas Factor (https://www.barnabasfactor.com) is searching for an Executive Director
PRIMARY ROLES:
- FUNDRAISER
The current budget for Barnabas Factor is in the range of $100,000. If a salary (or partial salary) is being attached to the position of Executive Director, then the budget would be raised accordingly.
Current funds coming in are about 90% from individuals; 10% church mission budgets. Someone with strong church liaisons could certainly change that proportion. Under Individual giving, most giving (perhaps 80-85%) is done through direct contact and mailed appeal letters. Up to 15% comes from online solicitation (using Network For Good). Attempts are being made to up online giving percentages.
The budget breaks down into these general categories: Bible Institutes—40%; Trips by Americans (or “All African” team)—close to 20%; Salaries for Directors of Africa and India, approximately 15%; Pastor Emergency Fund, and operating expenses in Africa and India—12%; Fundraising Expenses and American office expenses 13%.
- VISIONARY
The primary vision from God for this ministry was given to Tom Salter, and he has vision-cast it to others. The future Executive Director, with Board approval, would become the next “Visionary” with the capability of adding, subtracting, or modifying current efforts. With the overwhelming need to train International Pastors (one expert estimates that 95% of all “International Pastors” are UNDERTRAINED and most of them are virtually UTRAINED. The need is great enough to keep pursuing for the foreseeable future.
- MANAGER (OVERSEER)
In Africa, a tremendous leadership base is established, overseen by the African Director, Dr. Twagirumugabe Dominique. Obviously, Dr. Dominique is to be overseen and directed by the Executive Director. In India, our leader, Pastor Kempanna, is also overseen by the Executive Director. But the leadership base is much weaker and untrained in India. (It must be noted that Barnabas Factor has been in operation in Africa almost 10 years longer than in India). But more effort has to be extended in India than in Africa in terms of oversight.
