SUMMER MEDIA INTERN | International Mission Board
Come create engaging resources to help people share the Gospel with the lost, teach them the Word of God, help them live in church and community, and equip them to go out as missionaries. Potential projects include evangelism tools, discipleship materials, social media content, training curriculum, and compelling storytelling. You must have at least one of these skills: graphic design, social media content creation, or digital illustration/animation. You’ll dedicate a lot of effort to media projects, but also have opportunities to build relationships and minister in the local community.
Special requirements: Students assigned to this project should have skills in media and a desire to use those skills for ministry settings. Flexibility is required.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT | International Mission Board
*Dates Flexible
Learn about the Senegalese people and culture alongside missionaries sharing the gospel. Learn basic Wolof phrases and hear from national believers about their experiences. Prayer walk neighborhoods, practice sharing your testimony and Bible stories, and engage with the local community. Serve at the Grand Yoff Baptist Center through English classes, kids’ club, and other ministries. Visit missionaries outside Dakar to see rural missions efforts, and help host students from Super Summer Alabama serving in Senegal in late May.
Special requirements: Students assigned to this project should be willing to engage people throughout the Grand Yoff neighborhood and have a desire to serve and meet needs of the community through ESL, kid’s clubs, etc.
SOJOURNER | International Mission Board
This trip is designed for students who love to travel and share the Gospel. You will travel around Botswana working with local churches in order to share the Gospel. Each week will be different and will include evangelism, kids ministry, church work, and building relationships. Botswana is a beautiful country with amazing people, and you will get to know and experience a different culture and have the opportunity to share your faith and make disciples.
Special requirements: Students assigned to this project should have a desire to serve children, youth, and others. Intentionality and boldness in making connections are necessary.
TROPICAL TRAVELER | Nehemiah Teams
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. Or light a fire in someone’s heart to share the love of Christ on university campuses that will keep burning when you return home, as we seek Him to powerfully work among university students. Lastly, you may be more wired to disciple those who have believed and help them further understand how to live as a World Christian. Every day here, another hundred enter into a Christless eternity. Consider joining us and witnessing the Father work in and through you here.
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.
SHARE WITH THE DEAF | International Mission Board
Do you care for the hidden peoples? Would you go searching for the overlooked? Sift through a city of 9 million people to find the Hidden Gems…the Deaf. Go to malls! Sit and sip coffee! Play a game! Be an artist! You will enter Deaf communities, gain understanding of entry and presence building pathways, share Jesus, and cast a vision for the task ahead. Overlooked, often isolated, and experiencing various types of oppression, the Deaf community rarely has access to the gospel, much less someone looking for them to sign Jesus’ name. Make a difference as you find hidden gems and guide them to see their value to Jesus.
Special requirements: Sign Language ability is not required, but you must have an openness to learn some sign and have a boldness to approach others seeking to engage them with the Gospel.
COFFEE & CULTURE EXCHANGE | Nehemiah Teams
Join us this summer to drink coffee and tea as you spend time building relationships, helping university students practice their English, and sharing with young people who don’t know Jesus. You will have opportunities to step out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and build friendships. This often means going into coffee shops, campuses, and other public places, introducing yourself to people you have never met, and starting conversations. You will help students practice English, lead English clubs, and create opportunities to build friendships and share your faith.
Special requirements: Students assigned to this project must be confident in engaging others. English will be a great connection – coffee will be too! You must be bold in seeking to share with others.
