Goals
We have five goals for each intern.
To grow in your relationship with Jesus, resulting in noticeable life transformation.
To understand “calling” and to more clearly discern God’s will for your life at this time.
To discover and develop your passions, skills and gifts
To positively impact the ministry in which you serve during your internship
To gain valuable experience serving internationally
What You Can Expect
Each intern is shepherded and supervised by our Director of Training & Pastoral Care, Rob Mehner, a former chemical engineer and businessperson with over 20 years experience as an ordained Spiritual Formation Pastor. After a brief time in language school, you will spend the following percentages of your time in these ways (approximately):
60% - serving the needs of the ministry in whatever way is most helpful to the ministry
25% - working on specific projects/tasks which match your passion, skills, and gifts
15% - focusing on spiritual growth and processing your internship while it is happening.
