Short-Term
Engage Short-Term through hands-on, real-world ministry serving with an established team and making disciples among those with little-to-no access to the Gospel. Further your understanding of God’s heart for the nations and how He delights to use the gifts, abilities, and passions that He places within each of us to build His kingdom.
If you are interested in exploring whether serving in cross-cultural ministry is what God is calling you to pursue, consider a short-term opportunity with World Team. You will participate in life and ministry alongside career missionaries who will invest in your journey, helping you process and understand what you are experiencing as you engage a new culture with the love of Jesus.

Gain firsthand experience in cross-cultural life and ministry as you explore your future fit in the Mission of God among the nations. You will directly witness Gospel-centered, incarnational ministry and be mentored by a veteran missionary to help you learn and process what you are experiencing. You will see what teamwork looks like in a cross-cultural context of holistic church planting among unreached people groups. Learn more by watching our Internship video.
