When God speaks, he often uses the moments.

 

  • You came alive when you walked down a street in a place thou­sands of kilo­metres from your home.
  • Your mind replays a con­ver­sa­tion you had during a hot, dusty van ride.
  • You’re chal­lenged by the radical love and com­pas­sion of an over­seas com­munity to combat injustice in their neighbourhood.

Have you ever exper­i­enced a moment like these before? Often, a call into a season of global mission service begins this way. 

When you become a Moments Appren­tice, we will send you over­seas to serve under one of our Mission Part­ners or a friend organ­isa­tion. You will live with them in their over­seas com­munity. You will listen. You will learn. You will ‘watch how they do it’. You will be invited to roll up your sleeves and serve along­side them.

Just like any other appren­tice learn­ing on the job, you will prac­tice the ‘trade’ of global mission with a global mission mentor, receiv­ing 1 on 1 ment­or­ing and guidance.

An Apprenticeship in Global Mission

Appren­tice­ship [ uh – pren – tis – ship ] noun

1. a program or pos­i­tion in which someone learns a trade by working under a cer­ti­fied expert

2. the state or pos­i­tion of any learner or novice

All you need to know

Who are we looking for?

We’re offer­ing this appren­tice­ship to those who feel God is calling them over­seas to build His Kingdom. You don’t have all the answers. Maybe you’ve only just started to ask the right questions. 

But, some­where along the way, global mission has cap­tured your heart, God has got your atten­tion and you want to pursue this further.

You are who we are looking for!

The details

The Moments Appren­tice­ship has place­ments avail­able in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Each appren­tice­ship will be tailor-made to the indi­vidual as we discern together with God, you and your pro­spect­ive hosts to identify the best place for you to be.

Your over­seas place­ment will between 3 — 6 months. But again, we will work this out through part­ner­ship and prayer with you and an over­seas community.

Please note that this program is for New Zealand cit­izens only.
