Cross-Cultural Internship
Our Vision
Our vision for the Cross-Cultural Internship Program for youth is to create a learning experience that aligns with biblical principles, fostering and equipping youth to serve across cultural boundaries. By instilling values of humility, service, and compassion, we aim to better prepare youth and others to be proactive stewards of God's kingdom and to build bridges instead of walls.
Learn to work together as a team
Interact with children in the camps
Workshop sessions on various topics to equip you for effective outreach at home

We’ll study topics such as cultural sensitivity, communication skills, and a heart for impactful service from a biblical perspective.
• You will have hands-on opportunities to share your faith in a cross-cultural setting in the migrant camps across the border, including children’s ministry, Bible studies, singing, serving, and more.
• Learn to approach outreach with empathy and understanding. Develop skills to help you connect with real souls from different cultures, build trust, and make a meaningful impact.
• Our goal is to challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow both personally and
spiritually.
