*Note: This is a female-only internship.

Step into the heart of West Africa, where community life is vibrant, hospitality is generous, and people are eager to learn and grow. This internship offers a chance to serve alongside experienced field workers in West Africa, coming alongside local believers and translation teams as they engage their communities through literacy, education, and Scripture translation.

You’ll experience firsthand how language and education open doors for transformation, both spiritually and practically. Interns will be mentored by long-term workers while engaging with local men and women who are hungry to learn to read their mother tongue and Scripture. You’ll help strengthen the connection between literacy, translation, and everyday faith in action.
