Ukraine

General Description

This internship is specifically geared towards European interns. 

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 a European intern, you will spend your summer with local Ukrainian church leaders preparing and running evangelistic camps and building disciple-making relationships. You will partner with others from Europe to do European camps, the only current camp model of its kind in Josiah Venture.

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.

Support

The account will be updated once per week. These donations are tax deductible and should be made payable and mailed to the JV office. Donations made payable to Josiah Venture cannot be transferred to the ministry of another organization or used for educational purposes, nor can they be returned to the donor.
