To Whom it May Concern,

Thank you for your interest in representing Christian Educators Association Int'l. in your community. We are excited about seeing God's hand at work in the growth of CEAI.

The purpose of the Field Staff position is first and foremost to provide a local contact and liaison between CEAI members and the National Office. The second purpose is to develop networking contacts in your own community for the building of relationships through prayer support.

These efforts promote and support the vision of Christian Educators Association International, which is to demonstrate God's love and truth to the educational community.

We believe, as God tells us in Ephesians 4, at the same time that we speak the truth, walk in devotion with Jesus and let our light shine, we will be able to effectively serve the educational community by encouraging, equipping and empowering Christian educators in public and private schools.

The position of field staff is a volunteer position. However, you may choose to raise funds for operational costs and salary. Please feel free to call or write regarding any questions you may have.

At your earliest convenience, please forward a copy of your resume and a letter of recommendation from your pastor by mail or facsimile. Enclosed with this correspondence are three items (1) a Position Description, illustrating the functions of a Field Staff Representative, and (2) a Statement of Faith Form, to be returned to our office with your signature.

After forwarding your resume and letter of recommendation, please contact Finn Laursen, Executive Director by email at finn@ceai.org.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
