As an Intern, what will I be doing?
The majority of your time here will be spent working alongside our full-time missionaries. Each week you will be going out to visit families in the communities that we minister to and will be highly involved in doing Sidewalk Sunday School in those same communities. Included with your hands on ministry experience will be continued classroom ministry training and assignments. There will also be day-to-day ministerial operational tasks that Bootcampers will be involved in.
