Vancouver, Canada is considered the least Christian major city in the US and Canada. Almost no one you meet has a personal relationship with Jesus. It is also very multi-cultural. When you walk down any street you will hear people speaking languages from around the world. It’s exciting to be able to reach people from China, Iran, India, South America, Africa and Canada in one location. We minister in a place that is hard, but it’s also rewarding. Join a small, growing church of seekers, new believers, and many immigrants to serve in children’s ministry. You will help us with our Summer Sports, VBS, and our summer community outreaches.

Special requirements: Students that serve in this opportunity should have a heart for children and a desire to engage with people from all over the world.

Are you a university student who wants to make your summer count for the Kingdom? Come serve with IMB Team Quebec, a church-planting and university ministry team focused on reaching students with the gospel in one of the most spiritually unreached areas in North America. This summer, you’ll have the opportunity to live on mission, share your faith, and help create a welcoming community for students in one of Quebec’s vibrant university cities: Montreal, Quebec City, or Sherbrooke.

Special requirements: Students that serve in this opportunity should have a passion for engaging university students. French is helpful but not required.

We are an urban church plant in the heart of Victoria, British Columbia. We are seeking to make disciples in one of the most secular neighborhoods and cities in North America. Our ministry is highly relational, and the benefit to any student who joins us is learning to think like a missionary, contextualizing the Gospel to see people who would otherwise have nothing to with Jesus become disciples of Him. We will work with students to determine the best ways to use their gifts and skills to help us in building relationships with our community to engage them with the Gospel.

Special requirements: Students assigned to this project should have a willingness to use their gifts/skills to help further church planting efforts.

Our region has over 300,000 people. English is the predominant language, and we are the only CNBC / SBC English-speaking congregation in the region, and we are helping plant other churches. Currently, we have a Japanese and Ukrainian church plant under our umbrella. Students will be given the opportunity to use their gifts here in the ways that fit best. Opportunities include: worship ministry, youth ministry, children’s ministry, evangelism, sports ministry, church planting, etc. The experience will be a good opportunity to gain various experiences in the Canadian context.

Special requirements: Students assigned to this team should expect to be stretched in their giftings and have a desire to help serve in church plants – sometimes that is out front and other times behind the scenes.

This team will use their skills, training, interests, and experience in film to help tell the stories of three specific language groups in Europe (France and Italy), the speakers of the Corsican, Sardinian, and Sicilian languages. Through film, this team will try to make these language groups, who are often completely unknown or “invisible” to the worldwide Christian community, “visible” to those, who are less familiar with the indigenous minority language groups of Europe. This team will shoot video, which shows the natural areas of these language groups, with an emphasis on their history, language, culture, spirituality, and identity. This will be accomplished both through personal interviews with speakers of these languages, as well as images that will show more about their language and culture. The hope is that these videos will help make the spiritual needs of these people groups apparent for prayer while also serving as a means of calling Christians in other countries, who might be open to God’s leading, into missions service among one of these language groups. This team will spend about five days in each location, followed by a retreat for editing/producing videos about these language groups, which can be used immediately, before their debriefing weekend and return to their home countries.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project should be creative and artistic, having a passion and skills in film. Knowledge of Italian/French would be helpful, but not required. Students on this team should be self-starters and willing to engage in conversations with anyone.

Are you ready to do “tip-of-the-spear” mission work? If so, we have the trip for you! A team of students will engage Eastern Europe, specifically in cities where the International Mission Board (IMB) either does not have personnel or has little idea of the state of the missionary work there is. It will be a seven week trip and the students will be somewhat in charge of their own schedule. IMB provides students with cities to visit, training, and questions to answer about the cities. IMB instructs them on how to secure travel. The team will utilize various means of lodging (hostels, hotels, etc.). IMB trains students before arrival in Budapest, as well as a week-long training in Budapest that will include training in entry to a context, evangelism, and discipleship. The team will be regional: Eastern Europe, Baltics, or Central Europe; and that will be determined by student interest.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project should be self-starters, willing to learn how to live independently in an environment that will not be common to them. Students must handle money faithfully and frugally. They will handle their own resources for 7 weeks of living in Europe. *Students should have experience in evangelism, namely 3-circles, and not just know the presentation but come to the field with experience in sharing 3 circles with not-yet believing people. Participants need to be able to walk 15,000-20,000 steps per day. Students with food allergies will be responsible for their own care. First-world medical facilities are available throughout Europe, however, food allergy awareness is not an often-practiced discipline. Should students with food allergies choose to come on this trip, they must bring all necessary self-care items.

Are you ready to help us reach London? Join IMB church planters, journeymen, and local partners in meeting, sharing the Gospel with, and discipling university students from around the world. As an integral member of our growing team, you will join us in gathering and grouping new student contacts for events, leading Discovery Bible Studies, and building intentional discipleship relationships. But that’s not all. Our local churches need your partnership to serve alongside them as they connect with local university students to share the Gospel and disciple this next generation. So why give up your summer for London? According to The Standard newspaper, London is a modern-day Babel. Home to over 270 nations, this global city breaks records with over 300 spoken languages. On one bus ride alone, you’ll be overwhelmed with the sounds of English, Polish, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali, Arabic, and French. London is a melting pot of nations in desperate need of God’s grace, and we need your help. Far too many of our communities are filled with people unaware and unconcerned with their spiritual bankruptcy. Will you join us in sharing the Gospel in London?

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project should be outgoing and able to take initiative and try new things to engage in Gospel conversations.

Alert! Please do not consider this job if you are not willing to be challenged deeply. For those of you who are willing to let the Lord shake & shape you… Welcome, this may be the place for you this summer. The great missionary C.T Studd said ”Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.” Come to our tropical nation, sit on the floor in their one room homes, and be the first to share the Good News of the kingdom of God.

You may not do all three of these, but if you come you will participate in at least one of them.

Special requirements: Students will need to be bold and self-starters. Expect to engage in university work, pioneer work among unreached peoples, serving in rural villages and mega cities.
