Welcome to the Summer Internship Blog
If you are signed up and ready to go or still exploring your options our Blog is a resource for those looking for information about summer mission trips. College students, high schoolers, parents, and young adults can all read articles, learn tips, get updates and even interact with other participants present and past.
Fundraising for Mission Trips
Often, your first question after signing up for a mission trip is, “how in the world am I going to raise funds?”
Usually, your thoughts go to working extra jobs or utilizing your savings to cover the cost. Rarely do people start by making a request on their network. This is a mistake. Each of you has people who invested into your life to help you become who you are today. Allowing those individuals to help you follow Jesus is a gift to them, not a burden. But, you have to be genuine.
Forever Changed by a Mission Trip to Africa
I went on Summer Internship with G.O.D. International 16 years ago and my life was forever changed as a result. I knew that God had called me to serve abroad but didn’t know when, how, or where. It was on Summer Internship that I received those answers. I was able to give God the room he needed to speak concerning what he wanted from me.
Overcoming Fear and Doubt While on Jesus’ Mission.
In the summer of 2006, I went on the Global Summer Internship, which included mission trips to Jamaica, Guatemala, and the Philippines. As an 18-year-old, I already knew the Lord had called me to serve him with my life by caring for “the least of these.” Though I was plagued with insecurity, feelings of inadequacy, fear, and doubt, I told the Lord I would follow him wherever he led me.
