“Good things come to those who wait,” they say. After almost four years comes the job description for the “assistant” director of the IPCJ since, after all, God is the Director:

Job Description for Director of International Prayer Center of Jerusalem

Mission: To create a place of prayer that draws people to pray for the nations.

The director of the International Prayer Center will be first of all a pray-er, who begins by spending time praying throughout the facility each week as he/she develops areas conducive to prayer both inside and outside the center.

(Until the Center is widely known and used, the director should be in place three days a week with specified hours. One of these days should be a day when people are more likely to have time to use the facility. I’m not sure what day that would be in that country—Friday, Sat. or Sunday?)

Strategic Goals: March 1, 2006-February 28, 2007
1. Bathe facility in prayer.
2. Develop a plan and carry out five specific days of prayer during the year for NAME (one for the people groups of that country as well as one for each of the other cluster areas.)
3. Develop one day silent prayer retreats for any who wish to come alone or in groups to retreat.
4. Develop a prayer walk guide for tourists for the area of Jerusalem near the prayer center.
5. Develop the research center into a house of prayer with various interest centers. (This means that indoors—not just outdoors should primarily be a place of prayer and secondarily a research center. If more room is needed within the Jerusalem House for this, then more room can be allocated.)
6. Facilitate teams in the country having day retreats at the center.
7. Advertise (within the country to NAME teams and GCC people-) services offered (team retreats or days of prayer, silent retreats, etc) and hours when center is open.

Relationship
1. Strategic Goals: reports to Name Prayer Advocate
2. Operation and Administration Goals related to the strategy: report and coordinate with Is BSM. (Example: If room needs developing to make more conducive to prayer, BSM needs to be involved in the decisions.)

FWIW, I’ll be away from an Internet connection next week and (ironically) helping fix computers.
