Second Wind Network is committed to helping Australian Christians and permanent residents investigate next-career or short term opportunities in mission without fear of pressure or sales tactics. You can start the process of investigating a significant opportunity in missions by registering your personal profile and discovering your “best fit” with our partner mission agencies.
If you are not from Australia or an expatriate Australian living overseas click here for important information.
- Second Wind Network partner agencies have many opportunities and they are always changing. Completing the Personal Profile Form will enable you to connect with mission agencies with offices in Australia, offering opportunities specifically of interest to you.
- There is no fee to lodge a profile.
- You simply enter information about your life-situation and ministry preferences, and if married, the name and preferences of your spouse. After submitting your profile, you will be able to view a list of best fit agencies. The options for each matching mission agency will be in accordance with your service and ministry preferences. This will help you gather information on a wide array of next-career or short term options that fit your gifts and preferences. We suggest that you investigate those agencies that receive the highest match rating and contact those that interest you most.
- Additionally, Second Wind’s partnering agencies will be able to view your completed profile for a possible match with their ministry positions so they can contact you if they sense a good fit.
- If you do NOT wish your profile to be visible to Mission Agencies, make sure you select NO for the Privacy Agreement checkbox in the form. (See our Privacy statement). You will still be able to view your matches with mission agencies, but they will be unable to view your data or contact you. You may change your decision later from your password protected personal main menu page.
Here’s the process:
- Fill in the form as best you can. Except for certain required fields, you will be able to come back later, and edit sections which you may need to leave blank the first time round.
- After all sections of the form are completed to the best of your ability, click the “Register Profile” button. You will then be able to view matches with specific mission agencies that can connect you with interesting ministry opportunities from all around the world.
- You will now see a personalised list of matches with specific mission agencies that can connect you with interesting ministry opportunities from all around the world matched to your individual preferences. You will also have a quick link to their website and a pre-formatted email enquiry form which you can complete and send. You will be able to gather information on a wide array of next career options that fit your gifts and preferences. You must then follow up each individual agency yourself
- If you wish to make changes to a section after you have moved onto a new section, it is best if you complete and register the whole profile first, then log on to your Personal Main Menu page. Here you will be able to edit any sections of your profile at any time.
- You can also carry out your own searches for specific agencies which meet particular criteria of your choice, such as “Find Agencies which host Vision Trips”, or which work in particular regions of the world.
- Subsequently, if you use the wrong Username or Password when you log on to your Personal Main Menu page, you will be prompted for the correct ones, or else directed to contact Second Wind Network for assistance.
- After completing your Personal Profile, you will be able to download the paper “Finding Your Calling” provided courtesy of Finishers Project.
- You are always in control. If you begin to explore your options with some agencies and decide that you would like to “Suspend the process” and make your profile Invisible, or “Stop the process” and delete your profile, you may do so from the links in your Personal Main Menu Page
