Drawbridge Creations is looking to expand our team! 

As we approach the one-year mark since launching our ministry with our first project, Waypoints, we have a lot to thank God for — our financial and prayer partners, the freelance artists we get to collaborate with, the amount of content we’ve been able to create and share, and the encouragement we’ve received along the way.

But this is only the beginning.

In order to build Drawbridge Creations into a more effective and fruitful ministry, we need more workers with various skills. Of course, some roles can be filled by volunteers working remotely. But our hearts’ desire is that Drawbridge can be a platform mobilizing more missionaries to Japan — where some 99% don’t know Jesus! 

As Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Matt. 9:37-38) 

Please join us in praying for more workers!

We currently have three positions we’re trying to fill, but there is some overlap and flexibility here. Please also note that our sending organization Global Partners has opportunities for both short and long-term workers, as well as support-raising or self-supported paths. And as mentioned, remote volunteering is also welcome certain roles.

If you feel like God might be calling YOU, please get in touch!

All Positions Require:

• Willingness to engage in language and culture learning. 
• Willingness to engage with the local Church as time, opportunity and skills allow.
• Ability to work independently or with a team.

And here is a summary of those three job descriptions:

Web Developer

This is probably our biggest need right now, and it will be even more important as our ministry expands to multiple projects.

Summary of Job — Primarily, to help facilitate the ministry initiatives of Drawbridge Creations through website design, development and maintenance. Other tasks could include social media content creation and other communication.

Qualifications

• Web development (coding, database, UI, SEO, WordPress) and graphic design skills. 
• Asset: ability to handle social media content creation and management. 

Social Media and Marketing Expert

This is also a hugely important role as we look to expand and interact with a larger audience in order to share Jesus with them, as well as promote our ministry to the Church in Japan and abroad.

Summary of Job — To help facilitate and promote the ministries of Drawbridge Creations through social media content creation, managing multiple social media accounts, and engaging in marketing and other communications. 

Qualifications

• Working knowledge of social media platforms and software such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Buffer, etc, along with skills in writing and design for social media. 
• Assets: Marketing or PR training and experience. 

Manga Project Collaborators (Artist, writer, designer)

This is probably the first thing people think of when the think about working on a manga ministry. We list it last no because it’s not important, but because the above needs are more urgent at the moment. However, as we expand Drawbridge’s ministries into more and varied projects, we will want not only freelance collaborators but on-site staff to help us up our creative game. Know anyone who fits the bill?

Summary of Job — Collaborating with other Christian creatives in writing, art and design, to produce manga, blog posts, and other artistic content for digital and print-based ministry, as well as for the marketing and promotion of Drawbridge Creations. 

Qualifications:

• One or more of the following creative skills: writing, illustration, or graphic design skills. 
• Assets: Working knowledge of software such as Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, WordPress, etc.

Please pray with us about these team-building needs!
