Storytelling
Writer
A passion to serve
in Word & deed
We're looking for someone with a passion to serve the poor of our time in Word and deed. Here's a little more about our ministry around the world:
At CRI, we believe that storytelling is a vital part of bringing hope and the message of Christ to those we serve. As a CRI writer, you will play a key role in creating connections between our donors and the lives of the widows, orphans, refugees, and poor that we help around the world.
In this role, you will craft content for a variety of media, including our website, social media, fundraising campaigns, donor updates, and more. International travel is part of the job, as first-hand experience is key to impactful writing. You might find yourself capturing the joy of a Green Door home dedication in Malawi or sitting with a refugee in Uganda to document their story. When you return, you’ll use these stories to engage current donors and inspire new ones, bringing our mission to their doorsteps. We rely on strong writers and editors to share these powerful stories. Could that be you?
