The internship takes place at GFA World (Formerly: Gospel for Asia)'s Canadian office in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
You should verify with your academic advisor that the GFA internship meets your school's requirements for academic credit.
GFA will try to accommodate your individual scheduling needs with respect to dates and length of program. Internships may take place during the school year or summer break.
GFA World offers these specific internships:
**GFA will consider the application of students from other degree programs who are sincerely interested in missions and who are willing to work in whatever area is most needed. We will try to provide a meaningful and relevant work experience but cannot guarantee a fit for every type of major.
The internship is full-time, approximately 40 hours per week. You will be assigned to a department within GFA and will serve as an active member of that department under the supervision of the department coordinator. Specific activities and work assignments will vary depending on the department, your skills and current ministry needs. You will also attend foundational classes on such topics as the history of GFA World, GFA Core Values and the spiritual needs of the world. You may also receive practical training as needed on office systems/software.
As an intern, you will participate in prayer times and other meetings required of GFA staff. In addition, there will be optional social and outreach events with other staff and interns.
There is no direct compensation for the internship. You will, however, be provided with room and board for the duration of the internship.
You will probably stay in the home of a full-time GFA staff member. Breakfasts and dinners will be provided by your host family, and you will eat lunch in the GFA café.
You do not need a car, but you may bring one if you want.
Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received. Please allow 3-4 weeks for GFA to process your application.
