Serge Missionary Kid Teacher
Elementary | Kenya | Fall 2025 & ongoing
Position Title: Missionary Kid Teacher - Elementary
Location: Kapsowar, Kenya
FT/PT: Full Time
Deployment: Fall 2025 and ongoing
Length of Service: Preferably a minimum of 2 years service
Responsibilities:
Assist Serge missionary families in the education of their children.
As a MK Teacher, you will
- Work in a unique school setting where you can give individualized attention to discipling and educating children
- Develop curriculum and lesson plans
- Instruct children in academic studies, differentiating instruction to help each child master the academic content presented
- Prepare homework assignments and assessments; oversee standardized testing
- Maintain student records
- Maintain teaching credentials and participate in professional development activities
- Participate in ministries with people from the local community as interests and gifts direct and time allows
Teachers may take on a range of subjects and grade levels, creating a one-of-a-kind classroom experience not found in traditional schools. In remote areas, MK teachers are encouraged to think outside the classroom, using the surrounding landscape as an educational tool.
Serge MK teachers are passionate about teaching kids (and caring for third culture kids in particular), flexible, adaptable, collaborative, and excited to be in a close-knit community of MKs and their families.
Requirements and Critical Qualities:
A degree in education or a related field is preferred; a teaching license is a plus. Serge’s Missionary Kid Teachers juggle multiple grade levels and subjects, so we are seeking individuals who are skilled at managing a wide variety of student needs and subjects. Candidates would ideally have at least 1 year of U.S. teaching experience at the start of applying and 2 years experience by the time of deployment.
Support Raising
As a Serge missionary kid teacher, you are paid a salary. Missionary kid teachers are required to raise 100% of their salaries, ministry expenses, and administrative expenses to serve overseas. The amount you need to raise can vary significantly depending on the country of service, marital status, experience, and job requirements.
When you are appointed to go with Serge, you are assigned a Support Coach who will guide you step-by-step through the entire support-raising process, with regular calls for check-ins and prayer. We know it can be daunting, but we also believe there’s no better way that the Lord prepares us for the field. You can expect challenges and growth in this journey, but you can also expect a dedicated mentor along the way. You will never be walking it alone.
The Need + Why
When missionaries do not have education options for their children, they often have to leave the field prematurely or pull back significantly in their ministries.
To support our missionaries, Serge fields teachers to provide high-quality education for “missionary kids” and enable missionaries to focus on their ministry.
Teaching MKs is a unique opportunity to serve missionary teams in a vital way and to make a massive impact on the academic, personal, and spiritual development of these children.
Missionary Kid Teachers are invaluable members of our mission teams. Being part of a team provides you with a meaningful social life, shared prayer and worship, and the strength of working cross-culturally together.
We support MK teachers in a variety of ways during their term, including:
- On-the-ground teaching training and coaching by seasoned Serge staff
- Assistance with curriculum development
- Connection to a large network of physicians, teachers, and psychologists in the US for specific challenges
- Resources and tools for guiding “third-culture” kids academically, emotionally, and spiritually
- Unlike other support-raising missionary jobs at Serge, in some cases, this position may be partially subsidized by generous donors.

About Serge
Serge is an international missions organization that sees God weaving together the frayed edges of our tattered world with His goodness, creating something beautiful.
At Serge, we believe we need the gospel as much as anyone else. It was while doing cross-cultural, team-oriented ministry that we discovered how challenging it is to be grounded in a biblical identity as sons and daughters of God—so, we began to develop discipling resources to preach the gospel to ourselves – so that we could go into the broken places of our world to reach souls, renew hearts and restore communities.
Today, our work consists of sending and caring for missionaries, mentoring and discipling ministry leaders around the world, and developing gospel-centered resources — such as Sonship and The Gospel-Centered Life — for on-going gospel renewal.
