What To Expect
Would you like to observe and experience what it looks like to share God’s love with those who don’t know it yet and are among the least reached with the Gospel? Would you like to meet believers from a Muslim background as well as long-term workers and learn from them hands-on?
If you are flexible, mobile, you enjoy traveling and stepping out of your comfort zone, this opportunity might be for you! Our team spends between a few weeks to a few months in one place to come alongside existing ministries and then moves on to another place, always with a view to making a lasting impact.
Our practical involvement may include:
- Building relationships with immigrants
- Home visits with immigrants
- Evangelistic outreaches
- Bible study groups
- Discipleship with interested immigrants
- Childrens ministry and youth work
- Encouraging, consulting and training long-term local workers
- Prayer ministry
- Helping with integration and language learning
- Practical help
