Internship in Ukraine
English Camp
A sense of gospel hope is rising in Ukraine among youth that has not existed in previous generations. Summer ministry is an incredibly fruitful season for Josiah Venture in Ukraine and our interns play a key role in reaching youth with the hope of the gospel.
As an intern, you will spend your summer with local Ukrainian church leaders preparing and running evangelistic camps and building disciple-making relationships through English, sports, and more.
As an English Camp intern, you will have the opportunity to teach conversation English to campers, establish relationships, and share the love of Christ. Being able to speak English is a highly valuable skill for young people in Ukraine, which makes English camps an excellent way to connect young people with the local church.
Do you want to experience life as a missionary? Do you want to grow spiritually? Do you want to develop the skills and character of a leader who influences others for Christ? If you do, then this internship is for you.
