How Much Does it Cost?

This is a big investment and decision.
Get a sense for how it all work.

Early Bird Trip Cost: $5950
Standard Trip Cost: $6450

For 20 years, the GOD International Summer Internship has been changing lives, taking young people not just around the world but on a biblical journey, giving insight into God’s mission for the coming of his kingdom. And, we’ve been doing it for close to the same price the whole time.

 

What am I paying for?

The trip cost covers your food, lodging, transport and facilitation costs for an almost 40-day mission experience. It does not include your transport to or from Nashville.

There are two non-refundable deposits. The first ($500) due upon acceptance, saves your spot on the trip. The second ($750) is a nonrefundable airfare deposit that gives our staff the go-ahead to purchase an international airline ticket in your name.

Outside the above costs, you will need $50 for your visa and a recommended $100-200 for spending money and/or souvenirs. Every other part of the Internship experience is covered.

Trip Pricing

The Early Bird Price is $5950, available for all those who sign up before December 31.

The Standard Price is $6450, for anyone who signs up after December 31.

For every month an intern signs up after January, an additional $200 will be added to their trip cost.

Enrolling in MIN150 Mission Driven Service, a prepatory course offered by The Institute for GOD for college credit, is an additional $865 billed separately. (Institute students already enrolled do not pay an additional cost, it is included in their block rate tuition.)

February 15 - $1300
March 15 - $1300

If you’ve been a summer intern you know this scene: airport Bible studies. Wherever you go on summer internship, the Bible comes with you. It’s that explosive combination of God’s Word and a cross-cultural experience that changes lives. It doesn’t stop in the airport. This year’s interns have started their journey home but @greggdgarner is helping them put meaning to every moment and debrief their powerful summer together. #godsi23 #summerinternship #airportbiblestudies #gregggarner

It was our great privilege to welcome five East African youth as summer interns this year. While EA is their home, their eyes were still opened to the needs of people in their community and the Scriptural teaching that accompanied their service in schools, prisons, homes, youth conferences, gardens, and more! Please continue to pray for these young people as they implement the lessons they learned this summer in their daily lives as students at @institute_for_god! We are proud of you Victor, Quinn, Joseph, Tom, and Barnabas! #godsi23 #summerinternship #instituteforgod

A little look into our church visits. Throughout internship, interns visit a variety of churches from rural villages to the capital city. In each, they’re ready to share introductions, songs, testimonies, and get to receive the Word of God alongside church members. They’re making us proud as they learn so much! #instituteforgod #summerinternship #godsi23 #missions #uganda
