This summer, you are invited to embark on an unforgettable journey of faith, growth and mission. For six weeks, you’ll not only explore the ancient land where the Apostle Paul once walked but also experience the living mission of God in one of the world’s most strategic crossroads today.

Joining other participants in a summer internship program, beginning with training to help you understand the cultural, historical and spiritual landscape of Greece. You’ll take part in a week-long “Footsteps of Paul” tour, visiting the very places where the gospel first took root in Europe. Standing in Philippi, Thessaloniki, Berea, Corinth and Athens, you’ll see Scripture come alive in a way that shapes both your mind and heart for mission.  

But this journey is not just about learning—it’s also about serving. For five weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to come alongside ministries that care for refugees from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Through practical service, building relationships and sharing the gospel and hope of Jesus, you’ll discover what it means to live out the love of Christ in a cross-cultural context.  

More than just a summer experience, this internship is designed to help you discern God’s calling on your life. Surrounded by a community of fellow believers, mentors and leaders, you’ll be challenged and encouraged to listen to God’s voice, deepen your walk with Him and consider your place in His global mission.
