Volunteer Church Advocate

Job Description Summary:
Children of the Nations Volunteer Church Advocates are an incredible group of supporters who 
connect their church to Children of the Nations at a deeper level. Whether getting your church 
community involved in donations drives, sponsorship, or Venture Trips, you are helping more 
children to be raised up to transform nations. Each member of this group connects COTN to their 
church differently based on their particular gifts and the resources available.

Job Description Detail:
• Introduce Children of the Nations to your local church.
• Keep your church updated on the latest news from COTN, including first-hand stories from 
the places we serve.
• Introduce your church to ways they can get involved in serving children: child sponsorship 
events, Meal Packing Events, Venture Trips, donation drives, volunteer opportunities, and 
more.
• Join a community of Advocates who care about helping children!
• Be equipped with tools, training, and ideas to help you connect COTN to your church.
• From meeting your local team to COTN leadership, become connected to the larger 
ministry to children.
• Attend meaningful in-person and virtual events to get to know other Volunteer Advocates.
Volunteer Church Advocates add meaning to their lives as they help enrich the lives of their church community through helping children around the world. We believe connecting churches to our ministry is a mutually transforming experience for both the church and the children and is a way to live out Christ’s call to love the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the stranger. As a Volunteer Church Advocate, you are tangibly living out the Good News.

Skills and Qualifications:
• Active member of your local church.
• Current COTN child sponsors are a plus but not required.
• Strong faith and dependence on Jesus Christ.
• Demonstrated and sincere interest in Children of the Nation’s ministry.
• A commitment to serving children.
• Ability to invest 1 – 2 hours per week in the Volunteer Church Advocate Program.
• A friendly demeanor with an interest in reaching out to your church community about 
supporting children.
• Faithfully uphold COTN in prayer.
• Strong commitment to uphold and support COTN’s Mission, Vision, Core Values, Operating 
Principles, and Code of Conduct.
• Advocates for our children, raising awareness of their needs and potential, and challenging 
and enabling those within one’s sphere of influence to greater involvement with COTN.
