We don’t just talk about missions at Springbrook, we have 13 cross-cultural and international opportunities to live it out this summer!
If you have considered full-time missions work in the future, why not gain hands-on experience today? A Converge International Ministries [IM]PACT Global Missions Service Internship will allow you to personally encounter the challenge and adventure of global ministry.
[IM]PACT is more than a resumé filler. You’ll experience the unique culture of a foreign land while making an eternal impact by taking the life-changing gospel to the world’s least-reached people.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Pastor Rich today!
