Experience Life in the Middle East

**2025 applications are closed. Check back in October to explore 2026 opportunities.**

Come serve with a team that lives, works, and plays among a least-reached Muslim people group! We will help you learn the language, make friends, share the gospel, and fall in love with the people and the country.

This mentored summer internship is a 2025 RUF partnership site. Interns will join our team in a large city in the Middle East and will engage in daily language and culture study, with dedicated times throughout the week for discipleship, training, and Bible study. You will have the opportunity to use your hobbies and interests to connect with local people, whether through sports, English classes, painting clubs, dodgeball, board games, and more! Interns will contribute to our mission in meaningful ways by seeking to share Christ with locals they connect with, by helping us learn more about our ministry context through ethnographic observations (we'll teach you!), and by connecting with us in the regular rhythms of team life.

Candidates should be spiritually mature, flexible, humble, teachable, teachable, and need to be comfortable initiating conversations with nationals. Interns must have completed at least two years of college. Women should expect to follow local customs of dress.

Most summer internships run for 6-8 weeks, late May to end of July. For FAQs and more info, visit mtw.org/internships.
