Gain Experience on the Field
Step into real-world ministry as a missions intern with Poreuomai. Interns live in our missions house or with a partner family actively serving in the field. Through church partnerships, outreach events, school ministry, and open-air gatherings, interns will gain practical ministry training while being immersed in cross-cultural mission life.
Program Length:
-
A focused introduction to missions life.
Ideal for students on break or those testing a call to missions. This month-long experience includes hands-on ministry, daily devotions, and team-based outreach events. It’s immersive, and perfect for getting a taste of real-world missionary work without a long-term commitment.
-
A deeper dive into ministry and leadership.
This track gives interns time to build meaningful relationships and serve across multiple ministry contexts. You’ll assist with local church initiatives, lead outreach programs, participate in open-air evangelism, and receive weekly mentorship. Perfect for gap-year students or those seeking practical training.
-
An in-depth, transformative ministry residency.
This extended internship allows interns to live like a missionary—fully integrated into the rhythms of local ministry and community life.
