Intern Program
Transform’s Summer Intern Program exists to equip young adults to use, teach, and train the principles of Inductive Bible Study so that people may know God through His Word. We believe this happens most effectively in mentoring relationships and in the context of small-group Bible studies. Applications are currently being accepted for Summer 2014. Apply today! Application deadline is November 16, 2013.
DETAILS
Costs: Participants are required to raise $3500 support.
Raising Support: We ask that you contact people to partner with you in this opportunity instead of writing a check or having your parents pay for you. This allows others to participate in advancing God’s work and His Kingdom.
