MTW Internships are designed to give the participant a taste of missionary life and ministry experience overseas, as well as enable many to confirm their calling. The Internship Program provides opportunities for individuals, couples, and families to assist MTW missionaries and our ministry partners from 1-11 months.
Volunteer interns may serve from one to ten months. Salaried interns serve from six to eleven months.
Each intern, with the help of an MTW staff person, develops a prayer and financial support team. You can expect to raise from $2,000 to $4,000 per month. This covers your field-related ministry expenses, travel to and from the field, and your per diem costs on the mission field.
