About Internships in Taiwan

• 1 - 2 year program for people who are willing to join one of our ministry teams
• Interns will gain experience in ministry on the mission field and receive training from experienced missionaries

Goals

• To provide ministry experience and on-the-job training in a cross-cultural setting
• To help clarify whether God is leading you towards long-term work on the mission field
• To assist OMF missionaries in their ministries
• To mobilise missionaries, pray-ers and supporters for Taiwan

Who is the program for?

• People who think that God may be leading them into cross-cultural ministry, but are not clear on their future direction, or are not yet able to commite to a longer term involvement
• It is not intended as a substitute for long term mission involvement, but rather as a stepping stone towards that goal

What qualifications do I need?

• An interest in exploring the possibilities of long term ministry and a willingness to learn
• We expect that most interns will not yet have theological training - at the end of the program, interns will be encouraged to return home to receive formal theological education before engaging in further ministry
• Interns who have already completed theological training would have the option of converting to long term membership with OMF

What would I be doing?

• Interns will join one of OMF Taiwan's ministry teams and will be under the supervision of an experienced OMF missionary
• As language ability allows, you will participate in a range of ministries which contribute to OMF's work in Taiwan eg.
  
  • Church planting
  • Student work
  • Children's ministries
• Non-Chinese speakers will undertake an initial period of up to 6 months full time language study, to enable you to live comfortably in Taiwan, gain a realistic insight into what is required to effective long term mission and provide a basis for some ministry involvement in Chinese
• You will also participate in training designed to develop your ability to minister in a cross-cultural setting - this is done in collaboration with Ministry Training Strategy (MTS) - which involves:
  
  • The development of biblical understanding
  • Ministry skills, such as evangelism, teaching, personal work, leadership and planning
  • Growth in personal maturity
• Training is primarily on-the-job, but will also involve some relevant reading projects
