Missionary Internships in Europe
Are you a young adult or college student looking for hands on experience that transcends a typical internship abroad?
If God is tugging your heart toward global mission, then our Missionary Internships in Europe offer you a life changing opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
You can serve at the forefront of the mission field.
These are not just internships in Europe. They are ministry internships designed to equip you to be the next generation of workers in the harvest.
You will:
- Live among and serve Unreached People Groups
- Learn effective evangelism strategies
- Plant churches cross culturally.
This is real mission work, not textbook theory.
Why Missionary Internships in Europe?
Where you receive your training matters. Europe is currently on the threshold of global refugee migration.
As hundreds of thousands of refugees flee their homes, cities like Rome are often their first stop. This gives unprecedented opportunities to go and make disciples of all nations.
These refugees come from many Unreached People Groups in the 10/40 Window and beyond. With significant communities from some of the largest, least reached groups in the world, cities like Rome are strategic places to prepare for missions and church planting.
By choosing our internships in Europe for American students, you step into God’s global mission right where the nations are gathering.
