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.
