Our region presents a unique opportunity for those seeking to engage in cross-cultural ministry while navigating the complexities of daily life. In this context, ministry is woven into everyday routines such as working, studying, or maintaining a visa. This internship offers a chance to experience life on the field, where you will be involved in meaningful conversations over tea, language learning, and potentially teaching English as a second language (ESL). You’ll also have the chance to explore innovative avenues like Business as Mission, which is becoming a key strategy in our area.
While this isn’t an easy place to live, the rewards are great. We’ve been welcomed into local homes and families, and interns may have similar opportunities to build authentic relationships. The dynamic nature of our roles means that your involvement could take many forms, depending on your willingness to take initiative and step outside your comfort zone.
As an intern, you’ll bring fresh energy and encouragement to our team and to the local people we meet regularly for discipleship and evangelism. We hope this experience will stir a deeper passion in you for the unreached, whether or not it leads to a long-term commitment. Additionally, by teaching English, you’ll help meet a growing need in the community, as more people seek language skills for their education and careers.
