Crossroads Internship: A Cross-Cultural Mission in Slovakia

Europe, Slovakia, Spišská Nová Ves , Summer Internships

Opportunity Details

**2026 applications will open October 1.**

Join Crossroads, a vibrant ministry in Slovakia, for a transformative internship! Located at a busy intersection in our community, our church embodies a spiritual crossroads where lives are transformed through encounters with Jesus Christ. Inspired by the biblical parable of the banquet/wedding feast where servants are sent to the crossroads to invite all to the celebration, MTW Slovakia seeks to find ways to invite others to consider the claims of Christ. At Crossroads, you’ll help invite people to encounter Jesus at the intersection of faith and life.

As an intern, you’ll immerse yourself in Slovakia’s rich culture and serve in meaningful ways:

English Clubs and Conversations: Use your native English skills to build relationships with Slovak nationals through English clubs.
English Camp for Children: Help prepare and serve at a week-long English camp for children in our community.
Ministry with the Roma People: Engage with the Roma, a unique culture within a culture, through programs designed to share the gospel, build trust, and support their community.
Cross-Cultural Immersion and Church Visits: Deepen your cross-cultural experience with trips to visit a thriving church in western Slovakia and a church plant in Krakow, Poland.
Spiritual Growth and Training: Through teaching and mentorship, practical experience, and exposure to other churches, you’ll grow in your understanding of Christ’s call and how to communicate it across cultures.
Language learning: You will be stretched through basic language lessons and learn to navigate language barriers with humility.

The ideal candidate is excited to grow spiritually and be stretched in a multicultural setting, wants to get a close-up look at missions, can be comfortable when no English is being spoken, and is willing to meet people and develop relationships with English as the focus.

This is a 2026 RUF partnership site. Come ready to serve, learn, and be transformed as you join us in sharing the hope of Christ in Slovakia and beyond.

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