The Internship

This Is Not Your Sister's Mission Trip with Her Youth Group to Mexico

This is something more intense. Breaking Ground is designed to prepare you for real life missions in any country. You will face the joys and challenges long-term missionaries face on the field everyday. You will find yourself in situations with no other English speakers, staying in homes with Moldovan families and navigating the public transport system. You will work to fit into the culture around you and create lasting relationships. You will strive to do ministry that builds up the local church and honors God and the missionaries you are working with. You will be challenged, stretched and grown. Prepare yourself for something new. After these nine weeks, you will never be the same.

The Dream

Andy, Nancy and their three girls have been on the mission field for five years. Not long after their arrival they began taking short-term teams and then interns. That is how I, Sara Tady, first met the family. The Raatzs enjoy partnering with teams and interns to build and encourage the local churches in Moldova. They also enjoy sharing their love for mission and Moldova with those who come. But the request for internships in Moldova has become more and more frequent. Many people need college credit, want a first hand look at missions or just want see if missions is really for them. The summers became overwhelming.

I arrived for a more permanent stay last April, right before the busy season. I was excited and amazed at how many people were interested in Moldova, but I could see that we needed a plan. Through prayer and discussion Breaking Ground was born. A chance for interns to come, learn language, get involved in helping the local church and immerse themselves in the culture. Our dream is that young people will get a passion for missions and love for Eurasia. We want them to understand the need to love the people they work with and learn about the culture. We want to see good missionaries born.
