Copy editor Jobs in Colorado Springs, CO

THE MISSION OF WORLD CHALLENGE

We seek to rescue orphans and widows from a life of abandonment, poverty, and hunger. By bringing them into loving home, renewed health, emotional well-being, a hope for the future and most of all a new friendship with Jesus. Where spiritual and material poverty overlap and Christians are ostracized and persecuted, we want to care for orphans and widows. Why? Because we believe that Jesus cares for them and that by caring for the most needy we can shine the light of the Gospel that can change cultures for generations.

Note: This is not a remote position. It requires regular in-office attendance, Monday through Thursday, with the opportunity to work from home on Fridays.
