Ministry
Why do I need an internship?
Because it's your chance to learn things you'd never learn anywhere else. Seriously. There's a saying that floats around among pastors..."I didn't learn that in Bible College!"
The reality is, there's just so much that can't be learned in a book, lecture hall, or in the span of a four-year education. Some things just have to be learned through experience, and that's what internships are all about.
Pastor Joel and Kimberlee are dedicated to doing what they can to help you be successful in the calling God has on your life. They are passionate about serving the Lord in rural America, and long to see leaders raised up, ready to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities for ministry in rural places. They see what could be, and want to do their part to make it happen. It could happen through you. Have you thought about that?
“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.””
