THE JOB OF THE INTERNS

They will reach evangelize, disciple, mentor and takes young people off the streets in their ministry location working with other volunteers.

· They will also help to start G21 Clubs (for teenagers) in schools and neighbourhoods.

Where applicable, the interns will be supervised by the Centre Coordinator, a Board member at the Centre, but overall, by the National Mission One Coordinator.

Many young Christian graduates in Nigeria seek opportunities to serve God full-time beyond their church denomination, but shy away because there is usually no assurance there will be provision for their livelihood if such opportunities are taken. On the flip side, YFC Nigeria require passionate ministry minded graduates that can serve in our different ministry fields across our nation.

We have therefore put together the MISSION ONE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (MOIP) to provide opportunities for young graduates, ages 21 to 30, to commit one (1) year of their lives to serving FULL-TIME in YFC; helping to take the gospel of Jesus to At-Risk young people on the streets of Nigeria.

The Interns will be trained in the 1st one month at the National Office, after which they will be deployed as YFC missionaries to work in any of these three arrangements:

• Serving in one of our Centres/Ministry Locations across Nigeria.


• Serving in their home base town in any location in Nigeria


• Serving as pioneer missionary to any intending YFC ministry location in Nigeria

Devotions
Each week they will spend time in devotions discussing topics, reading Scripture, and praying together. Devos are an excellent opportunity for them to connect, grow, and learn from their peers, other staff and volunteers.

HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION

Therefore, our plan is to have the Mission-One Interns be hosted by families who will act as parent-Mentors and be accountable for them, all through their stay in the community.

All interns are PAID a monthly stipend. This is provided to assist with living expenses such as food and other personal stuff. Every ministry related expenses will be provided for by the ministry.
