The salary for this position is “support-based.” This means that similar to most OMF International U.S.-based mobilization personnel, the Serve Asia Program Coordinator is asked to raise the budget for the position’s salary. This decreases the amount of finances our cross-cultural missionaries need to contribute to our U.S. ministry. The salary range for this position is need-based, generally between $2,000 to $3,200 per month. OMF International will provide training and a personal mentor to guide you through the support-raising process.
