About MTS

MTS is a multidenominational evangelical organisation that exists to raise, train and resource healthy gospel ministry trainers as they multiply gospel workers through ministry apprenticeships. Learn more about MTS .

The Impact

- Since 1979, 3,850 men and women have completed apprenticeships through MTS in Australia, going on to serve in local churches and ministries.
- Over 1,250 gospel workers are currently serving in the field as a result, with many more coming through theological college right now.
- In 2026, 161 trainers are investing deeply in 202 ministry apprentices, across a variety of church denominations and para-church organisations.
- In recent years, MTS has sharpened its strategic focus on raising, training, and resourcing healthy gospel ministry trainers — men and women actively engaged in a local table of fellowship, ongoing formation, and the trusted MTS framework. It's this kind of trainer who multiplies. In 2026, we set a goal of developing 50; we've now reached 51, with a vision to see 500 healthy gospel ministry trainers across Australia by 2030.
- Globally, MTS provides varying levels of support to 32 countries.

Role Purpose

The Operations & Donor Support Assistant provides essential administrative and executive assistant support to the Head of Operations & Pastoral Development, as their primary line manager and day-to-day working relationship, helping manage, prioritise and progress the work delegated to them. Alongside this, the role provides significant ongoing support to the Donor Relationship Manager with fundraising and campaign support, donor enquiries, and event coordination.

The role holder provides practical, hands-on support across a range of functions — from executive assistance and project support for the Head of Operations & Pastoral Development, to donor administration, appeal coordination, and event logistics in support of the Donor Relationship Manager.





Why Work at MTS

MTS exists to bring about, under God, multigenerational gospel impact — seeing gospel work momentum created in cities, regions and nations globally. We raise, train and resource healthy gospel ministry trainers through fellowship, formation, and our trusted framework so that this mission continues for generations to come. The trainers we're forming are marked by being Christlike, trusted, and courageous — and it's this same posture we look for in everyone who joins the MTS team.

Reflecting a recent strategic pivot, MTS set a goal in early 2026 to develop 50 such trainers, and reached it on 14 August 2026, with 51 trainers now meeting this standard. The vision continues: by 2030, MTS is aiming to develop 500 healthy gospel ministry trainers across Australia, multiplying not just apprentices, but the trainers who form them.

Working at MTS Head Office means joining fellow brothers and sisters in Christ on the same mission, where every staff member plays a unique role in sustaining that work — approaching it all with a spirit of joyfulness, prayerfulness, and thankfulness in all circumstances (1 Thess. 5:16–18).
