Work Experience

Everyone on board has a job. A way for them to contribute to the community, a way to support the ministry through responsibility of the day to day chores that need to be done on the ship. Traditionally a new recruit starts in a service type job (cleaning, cooking, engine room, ect..) and after 6 months to a year, they are moved on to a more specific job, (such as events, port preparation, service desk, ect..) So on average a 2-year G.A. (Global Action-er) would have 2-4 jobs during their 25 months with the ship.

I'm above average! Here are the jobs I've had...
