Do you want to train in cross-cultural mission in Europe?
Background
We are looking to build teams of disciple makers across Europe – both expats and Europeans. We are desiring compassionate people who are passionate about disciple-making, casting vision, and partnering with national believers to grow disciple-making movements.
Vision and Strategy
The Apprenticeship in Mission at the HUB (AMH) is a training program designed to serve as a bridge between theological training and deployment to the field for those pursuing a call to long-term, cross-cultural work. AMH is an environment of continued learning, spiritual gift discovery and development, hands-on ministry, and mentoring under the tutelage of experienced cross-cultural practitioners.
Engaging in mission and spiritual formation as part of the HUB community will allow the apprentice to continue to grow spiritually while, at the same time, gain practical experience in mission work in a very multi-cultural context.
Ministry and type of work
The apprentice will be expected to assume ministry responsibilities, in agreement with the team and his/her mentor, by the beginning of the fourth month. The first three months will serve as a focused time on training and getting acclimated to life and ministry in the city of Rome. The apprentice will be expected to enter into a venue of ministry and take it in hand for the remaining two-thirds of the apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship itself is nine months. It’s our hope that this would be an introduction to longer term ministry in either Rome continuing on with ministry at the HUB or at another location in Europe.
Qualifications and experience
One year of theological training is recommended.
What are the personal (not academic) characteristics required?
- Willingness to focus on Christ through engaging in spiritual disciplines
- Willingness to implement trainings or methods that you don’t understand, seem strange to you, or push you outside your comfort zone
- Willingness to maintain a positive and joyful spirit in all acts of service
- Willingness to be sweetly broken by the recognition of your sinfulness, to
experience the great joy of God’s grace given to you through the cross of Christ, and to let this humility pervades your interactions with other interns and the team - Willingness to endure difficult situations without giving up
