Two regions. One mission. This internship takes you across the Middle East and North Africa, where you’ll step into the front lines of language survey and Scripture impact among Muslim populations. In places where access to Scripture is scarce, you’ll see how God is opening doors through language survey, Scripture engagement, and everyday relationships.
From one country to the next, you’ll gain firsthand experience in what it takes to reach unreached people groups with God’s Word. You’ll support survey initiatives that shape future translation work, participate in creative strategies for connecting people to Scripture, and witness how the Gospel takes root in hard-to-reach contexts. Along the way, you’ll build relationships through hospitality, conversation, language learning, and shared daily life, while developing a deeper vision for how Scripture in the heart language transforms lives.

- Assist with language survey projects that inform future translation and Scripture impact
