All Nations Serve Internships
Zambia
SERVE - A two month or ten-month leadership internship for those who have attended the CPx leadership-equipping program, or who are contemplating the possibility, or who simply want to learn by serving for a short term in a missional community.
The internship is a hands-on learning process whereby the interns are active in ministry outreach 30-50 hours a week. Staff leaders meet with the interns regularly to coach them, teach them, and to hold group discussions about what they are learning and applying. There is a small cost involved, plus one's living expenses.
The goal of the internship is to assist those who want an opportunity to fulfill college requirements or want to learn in a multi-cultural environment. Interns will gain insight and perspective into how to be part of a learning and serving missional community. The interns participate in a holistic model of ministry, church planting and community renewal. Each intern is invited to utilize their passions and skills in the process of reaching and serving the least and the lost. In other words, a New Testament style Christianity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost? There is a one time admin and application fee of $50, a monthly fee of $75, plus living expenses of about $75 for singles and about $125 for couples per month (not including purchasing and operating a car).
What will I do? You will participate in two team meetings a week, meet once a week with a staff member for debriefing and coaching, and meet with other interns for a group debriefing/tutorial.
In addition to team meetings, you will be asked to serve in the villages where we work on an average of 30 hours a week. We will try to help you utilize your passions and gifts. Please be prepared to serve where needed.
There may be opportunities to work building the base, assist in our office, help a local children's ministry, develop school and pre-school programs, assist a local soccer team, serve short term teams, evangelize and disciple the villagers, work in gardens and other experimental development initiatives, oversee self-help and income generating programs, etc.
Where will I live? You will live with the rest of the community - either in Livingstone, in a rented house, or when we are able to build and move onto our base in Singanga Village. Living may be somewhat primitive at times. Food will be simple. But we will have rich fellowship and worship to offset any discomfort.
What will I do for transportation? Without a car you will be dependent on others for rides, or walk, ride a bike, buy a motor scooter, or purchase your own car. It is not safe for a single woman to use public transportation (like buses or taxis).
What training do you require for interns? Interns are required to go through a week of orientation. If they want to stay for more than 6 months they must plan on attending the next three month CPX course in either Cape Town in Feb, or in Kansas City, in Sept. (see the websites below for more information about CPx). The costs for the lecture phase of CPx is found on the training page of Floyd and Sally McClung's website at www.floydandsally.org. or at www.all-nations.info.
