Christian Ministry Employers
Start with these 11 Christian organizations. These are career resources, not promises that every role is open today. Follow each employer’s official job-search or application instructions. Compare paid, seasonal, volunteer and donor-supported arrangements carefully.
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
Search Christian response, donor support, administration, IT, facilities and other ministry careers. The inbound Christian Response Representative posting reviewed was in Charlotte, North Carolina; do not assume it is remote.
Visit resource ↗CBN / The 700 Club
Use CBN’s current careers page and View Opportunities button. Search prayer/contact-center or telephone-ministry roles when posted, alongside administrative, media and Operation Blessing work. Check the listing’s eligible states and work location; a prayer center is not a guarantee of an open job.
Visit resource ↗Samaritan’s Purse

Visit resource ↗Daystar: Temporary Prayer & Pledge Calls
Daystar’s official pledge-agent page describes paid, event-specific telephone work for Heart for the World and requires applicants to be within driving distance. The fall event listed when reviewed runs October 11–17, 2026, with training beforehand. Because the event is already underway, confirm whether applications are still being considered or ask about a future event. This is not presented as an ongoing or remote vacancy.
