Over the summer, interns will be exposed to nearly 100 different missionaries serving in different ministries around the world.  The interns will learn about working in and operating a Christian support ministry and will be given a variety of tasks, which could include: meeting and assisting missionaries as they transition in and out of their vans, praying with missionaries, preparing vans for departure, creating gift bags for the missionaries, creating and conducting podcast interviews with missionaries, working in the coffee shop, and assisting with our clothing boutique.  Missions majors who expect to go to the field in the future can also be provided with some training in automotive maintenance and repair.

Shop interns may be asked to help with cleaning the garage, organizing items, and recording information about maintenance on the fleet.
