SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

For 6 days of the week interns will spend time in their community serving, building relationships and living out the Gospel.  They will be using their gifts and talents on a daily basis through their church and will also report to other ministry service sites in the community where they can apply practical skills to assist and equip local residents.  

Our desire is that people not come with the idea that they are going to save Africa, but that they have come to serve Africa.  Through service, they will learn about what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ in hard places. They will become part of their community by building relationships with its residents.  Interns will begin to understand the joys and struggles that the residents in their communities experience on a regular basis.
