Apply

WHAT IS FOCUS
INTERNSHIP?

FOCUS Internship is a nine-month bridge that supports and trains you along a journey toward long-term ministry. The program starts with two months of training and equipping followed by a seven-month internship in either an international or North American location.

WHY FOCUS INTERNSHIP?

EXPLORE

Explore mission and your giftings alongside seasoned ministry leaders.

DISCERN

Discern God's mission invitation through community, prayer and experience.

SERVE

Serve alongside experienced missionaries and local church leaders supporting their work.

STAGE 1:
TRAINING

The first couple of months will be spent in training and equipping modules led by experienced missional leaders. You will live in a community, spending time worshiping, serving, learning and praying together. Modules will cover topics like:

Biblical Foundations of Mission
Discerning the voice of God
Disciple-Making Movements
Cultural Awareness
Spiritual Authority
etc.

STAGE 2:
MINISTRY

Multiply has local partners in 65 countries helping to transform their communities through disciple-making movements, business as mission and the ministry of reconciliation. We want to match you with leaders that can give you a full range of opportunities to learn and grow. Your internship experience will be seven months alongside one of our experienced leaders. Through practicing your missional theory in real-life situations you will be able to discern more clearly your invitation in God's mission.
