Summer Internship Program

​Have you ever wondered what the apostle Paul’s journey through Greece felt like? The places he saw, the people he met, and the opportunities to witness about the gospel of Jesus Christ that changed his life? Well, now you can follow in his footsteps by visiting the places he traveled to understand what it is like to minister to people from different cultures, and to participate in practical outreach – all in one month! 

​

The Gateway Training Center (in Athens, Greece) has developed the internship program with three areas in mind: 

• First week of ‘Footsteps of the apostle Paul’ tour in Greece (from Philippi to Corinth) 

• Three weeks of outreach in and around Athens and the island of Kefalonia 

• Training seminars on specific topics related to outreach and cross-cultural communication during the above four weeks. 

 

The two months before the internship, participants will be expected to attend six two-hour training sessions as planning and preparation for the internship. At the end of the internship, a comprehensive debriefing will take place together with training how to re-enter into your own home context. 

If you want to follow in the footsteps of Paul and his co-workers, learn more about reaching the nations with the love, compassion and Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ, want to experience the life and culture in Greece, and/or want to discern how the Lord wants to use you as He advances His Kingdom, then this may be the internship for you!
