José Carlos Gutiérrez with his wife Soraya and son Mateo |
UPDATE
José Carlos Gutiérrez of México has been chosen as our "Timothy/Joshua" -- the future leader of the COMIX35 ministry, Lord willing. He and his wife Soraya met with COMIX35 President Nate Butler and the ministry's Board of Directors at our Annual Meeting in November 2009.
Currently his official position is "Ministry Communications and Support," but José Carlos will be tackling a whole variety of assignments and projects for COMIX35 in Latin America and around the world, including a seminar in Mexico City.
We will continue our search for more special people to join the COMIX35 ministry. Because we want to start building a team around him as our future leader, we decided at the Board meeting that José Carlos will oversee future ministry recruitment.
If you are interested in joining COMIX35, please watch this page for future announcements, or write to José Carlos at:

The "Timothys and Joshuas /
Marthas and Priscillas" Project
One of the main concerns for our ministry from the beginning has been:
"Who will be the 'Timothys and Joshuas' or 'Marthas and Priscillas' who will continue this ministry work when we retire or pass on, if the Lord doesn't return before that time?"
So when we ask "Would you like to join COMIX35?" it's not because we're just looking for more media missionaries or staff.
We're searching for future leaders.
We need Christian brothers or sisters who have the strong interest, energy, enthusiasm, and thoroughness necessary to do the work of this ministry – hardworking, servant-hearted, Philippians 2:4 ("look also to the interests of others") kinds of people – who also have some level of knowledge and experience in the field of comics.
We know that the people we seek may be literally one-in-every-million.
So we are holding a multi-stage "audition" to locate these unique people.
The 3 stages are tests that are set up to help us identify:
[1] Interested Applicants
[2] Potential Candidates
[3] Our Top Prospect
If this sounds exciting to you, and you think you may be the answer to our one-in-a-million challenge, it's possible you might have what it takes to be one of the future leaders this ministry requires.

(Please do not postal mail one-of-a-kind materials, such as original artwork, as no submitted materials will be returned.)
Interested Applicants will be informed within 1-2 months whether or not they have been selected as Potential Candidates.
All Potential Candidates will be informed of what will be required to complete Stage 2 and to be considered as a Top Prospect.
In Stage 3, our Top Prospect will have the opportunity to join current staff and Board members of COMIX35 to become acquainted personally, to receive one-on-one “schooling” from staff and Board in their areas of expertise, to go through a COMIX35 orientation, and/or to attend some mini-Missionary Development sessions.
Lord willing, our goal is to meet with at least one Top Prospect every year at our annual Board Meeting in November.
