Note:This is not Gary, this is the other dude with good stuff to bring to the Brickyard. Kinda short, talks fast, not sure if y'all remember him. Got this in an email from him the other day, figured someone might be seriously interested. He's not the NY dude with the "I ♥ Jesus" t-shirt either.

" Use Your Skills -- Join the Tom Short Campus Ministries Team Do you have talents and skills you would like to utilize in Christian ministry? Do you believe in the work of Tom Short Campus Ministries and would you like to see this ministry expand and multiply? Do you feel working directly with Tom and other believers would be beneficial to your growth and spiritual maturity? If you answered "yes" to the above questions (or know of someone else who you think would answer yes and whom you would like to refer to TSCM), read on to learn about some exciting opportunities that just might change the course of your life! Tom Short Campus Ministries is seeking to take advantage of new and exciting opportunities and is, therefore, seeking to hire people who can work in the following positions: Administrative Assistant: Works directly with Tom to help in scheduling, planning, correspondence, etc. Qualities needed: Organizational and time management skills, writing and communication skills, initiative, flexibility, proficient in use of a computer Audio / Video Produce audio recordings and videos of Tom's messages Qualities needed: Technical skills in recording, camera, editing, production and posting on the internet; creativity; self-motivated. Writer / Editor / Webmaster Help create and maintain the TSCM website, ShortNotes e-mail and books / pamphlets Tom will write Qualities needed: Writing, researching and editing skills; ability to manage website and desire to implement latest web technologies; good organizational skills; solid understanding of theology and Christian worldview. Campus Preacher Be trained by Tom to preach in his personal style on college campuses. This is a long-term commitment to be thoroughly trained over a period of several years, including theological training, character development and the skills necessary to effectively minister as a campus preacher. Qualities needed: The list is too long for this brief e-mail, but would include a willingness to learn; heart for lost people; love of God's word; genuine faith; sharp mind; strong voice; willing to spend a great deal of time on the road (i.e. willing to live a sacrificial and uncomfortable life); genuine prayer life; servant's attitude toward others, etc. Details: 1. Each of these are "pioneering" positions - meaning if you are hired, you will be the first one employed by TSCM in this area. This means there will be plenty of room for YOU to develop this position in a way you feel best, but also means you will need to have personal initiative and creativity. 2. These positions will include a salary and benefits. However, one of your responsibilities will include recruiting supporters of TSCM whose contributions will cover the expense of your employment. We will provide training, encouragement and personal support in this process. 3. Being hired for one of these positions will require you to live in Columbus, OH. However, most of these positions will also require at least some travel and, in some cases, a great deal of travel. This can be quite exciting and allow you to see what God is doing around the nation and the world, but you should take this into consideration if you are married with responsibilities in your home and family. 4. While we are looking for people who can fill these positions permanently, some of these positions may be open for a short-term intern position (potentially even for this summer). Also, while it would not be our first choice, we might be interested in working with qualified people who would like to volunteer their time and talents on an "as available" basis even if they did not live in Columbus. 5. Anyone who fills one of these positions will be expected to be a committed Christian living a lifestyle that is above reproach as God's servant. I'd also expect you to uphold the basic doctrine and core values of our organization. 6. If you are hired for one of these positions, you will be part of an exciting and growing evangelistic ministry that is now reaching throughout the world. Therefore, we are looking for people of faith with a sincere Christian commitment. We expect these positions to produce fruit in the kingdom of God, but we also believe YOU will grow by working as a part of this team. Next Steps: If you are interested in one of these positions, here's what you should do: 1. Pray and ask God for His guidance as to your potential employment with TSCM. 2. Write me an e-mail at tomshort@columbus.rr.com telling me Which position(s) you are interested in What experience / qualifications you have How you know me (if you do) and when you have ever heard me speak before What is your Christian experience and commitment When you would be available to start (if you know) Include your name, address, phone and where you attend church If we feel you might be a good fit for TSCM, we will contact you for an interview and send you a formal application. 3. I am a strong believer in the importance of the local church, so I would require you to have the full support of your pastor and would need a recommendation from him. Prayer Requests Please pray for TSCM as we make these important additions to our team. I have very little experience in hiring and it is vitally important that we make the proper decisions in these expansion efforts. Thanks for your prayers and for standing with me in ministry.
