About The Position

Dear Applicant, Thank you for taking the time to explore the Executive Assistant to the Founder position at Seeds Wilderness Way. As you consider this opportunity, we want to share the deeper spiritual heart behind this role and the kind of partnership we are prayerfully seeking. Seeds is a ministry that exists because Jesus heals. We have watched Him meet teens and families in the wilderness, speak truth into places of deep pain, and restore what felt beyond repair. The work is holy, weighty, and beautiful — and those who serve here must carry not only skill, but a heart anchored in Christ. The Executive Assistant role is one of the most spiritually significant support positions in our ministry. It is a calling to come alongside the Founder in a posture of humility, discernment, and faithful presence. The Founder carries the spiritual and operational weight of leading a ministry that touches lives in profound ways. Because of that, we are seeking someone who understands the sacredness of supporting a leader who is daily pouring themselves out for others. This role requires more than administrative excellence. It requires a heart that is steady when the load is heavy, peaceful when timelines tighten, and prayerful when decisions feel weighty. We are looking for someone who can be a calm, grounded presence — someone who helps create space for the Founder to hear from the Lord, to lead with clarity, and to shepherd with joy rather than exhaustion. There will be moments when the Founder is carrying the burdens of families in crisis, navigating complex decisions, or discerning the next step for the ministry. In those moments, the Executive Assistant becomes a quiet intercessor, a stabilizing presence, and a trusted partner who helps process information, organize priorities, and bring order to what can feel overwhelming. Your ability to listen with compassion, anticipate needs with wisdom, and support with gentleness will be a vital part of the ministry’s health. We believe that serving in this role is an act of worship — a way of strengthening the hands of a leader so that the work of the Kingdom can continue unhindered. Scripture reminds us that “those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed,” and we see this role as one who refreshes leadership through faithfulness, excellence, and Christlike service. If you feel drawn to serve quietly and faithfully… If you find joy in supporting others so they can flourish… If you desire to be a steady, prayerful presence in a ministry that depends on the Holy Spirit for every step… Then we are grateful you are exploring this opportunity with us. We look forward to learning more about your story, your walk with Jesus, and the ways He may be preparing you to partner with Seeds in this season. With gratitude and prayer, ~ From a Previous Executive Assistant Executive Assistant to the Founder A Faithful, Teachable, Mission‑Driven Support Role at Seeds Wilderness Way Seeds Wilderness Way is a Christ‑centered, non‑profit ministry that walks with families and teens through seasons of emotional, spiritual, and relational brokenness. Through the wilderness and the truth of the Gospel, we’ve seen healing that only Jesus can bring—transforming not only students, but entire family systems. As the Lord continues to expand our reach and impact, we are seeking a faithful, teachable partner to walk closely with our Founder and help build the administrative and operational support needed for this growing ministry. This is not just a job—it’s a calling. We’re looking for someone who is personally committed to Christ, deeply aligned with our mission, and willing to serve with patience, flexibility, and a humble spirit.
