Volunteer Dev or Devops Role, DT Heart & Soul
Are you looking for a chance to exercise your professional skills to make a global impact in our fellowship?
DTHS seeks a software engineer who is excited about a multi-year once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bless singles worldwide with the technical talents God has given you. You will work with church leaders and singles worldwide to build a ministry that bears the fruit of godly marriages and families, now and in generations to come.
DT Heart & Soul, aka DTHS, is a project of Disciples Today. Since 2009, DTHS has been offering online matching services to singles in the ICOC fellowship of churches. Over 100 married couples first met on DTHS; about 40% of those marriages are international! The platform is designed to offer a safe, pure, and fun experience for singles to connect with each other.
This person must be a spiritually mature Christian in our fellowship with a deep passion for the singles ministry, who is commended by leaders in your local congregation as blameless and above reproach.
