Come and be a part of what God is doing in this global city in the Middle East.

Our team is working hard to see that there are healthy churches for all the people of our city so that everyone might have a chance to hear the gospel. Come and be a part of this mission by sharing the Gospel with the unreached. You will be trained and equipped by our team to reach out into new areas of the city as you look for people to share the Good News and learn about new neighborhoods. Most people here can speak English so you will find it easy to engage with people in conversation. However, this trip will be a challenge as you battle the extreme heat of the summer and navigate a multitude of cultures. Our team will walk alongside you as we work hard together to get the gospel to those who have never heard.

Paris, France :: 2024 Olympics University Internship

WHAT YOU PAY (includes OMS Contribution): $5000

More than 10,500 athletes will gather from nearly every nation on earth. As people from around the world gather to watch these athletes, God is giving us an opportunity to connect and proclaim the gospel to peoples from around the globe – many who otherwise do not have access to the gospel. The Olympic games also shift the mindset of locals, whose hearts may be open to different ideas they hear from visitors. We want to seize the opportunity, in partnership with US and French churches, to mobilize the global church on mission in Paris for the 2024 Olympics. We are praying for God to use volunteers and partnerships to reach Parisians, the immigrants making up 40% of the Paris-area population, and the flood of athletes and visitors. Olympic projects hosted by the IMB emphasize these approaches: Establish new connections and share the gospel within specific geographical church-planting targets and cultural segments of Paris Broad gospel seed-sowing among visitors and athletes from around the globe. Engage in service projects to assist local churches in building maintenance or community outreach During the Olympics, many of the local Parisians will leave the city to avoid the crowds and chaos. The pre-Olympics timeframe will primarily focus on reaching Parisians before they depart by working alongside French churches to fulfill local strategies with various ministries, outreach, and evangelism. Once the Olympics begin (on July 26th), we will primarily focus on reaching Olympic spectators, workers, and athletes. This will be a multi-cultural endeavor, reaching people of all nationalities and languages. Outreach will primarily focus on broad seed-sowing evangelistic efforts. Volunteers who accept these student intern positions will be instrumental in helping with pre-Olympic outreach preparations, day-to-day logistics needs with hosting other volunteer teams, the implementation of the various projects and participation during the projects. Introduce people to Jesus! We want to facilitate the bold proclamation of the gospel in this dark place to those who live here and those who are visiting. For guests to Paris, we hope to share and link them back to Christians in their own countries. For locals, we will do broad evangelism that fits into our overall vision for the city. Our intention is to assist in planting five churches over the next five years. We need to make connections and share the gospel broadly, and your team can help immensely in accomplishing this objective.
