California Academy

WHEN
Jun 21 2019 - Aug 3 2019
WHERE
Santo Domingo, DO

Interns participating in the Ministry and Missions Academy in California will join a team of fellow interns, passionate about people affected by disability, in training on a biblical view of disability and a theology of suffering through our Beyond Suffering (BYS) curriculum. During your six-week internship you will serve together in practical ministry outreaches through the local church domestically and internationally. All interns are expected to be ready to use their gifts and skillsets to serve their team and those with whom they interact during their internship. Whether you’re a special education, therapy, or ministry major or are a person with great organizational skills, come ready to unite as a team to bring hope only God can provide for the marginalized of society.

As an Academy intern you will first receive classroom training and practical application in serving people affected by disability. As you process your training and experiences with your team, you will find rich community in learning and serving beside like-minded believers. Cause 4 Life will provide you with opportunity to serve people with disabilities in different hands-on capacities. Partnering through the local churches, you will be exposed to adult outreaches, child respite programs and family events. 

Joni and Friends Family Retreat milestones the third week of your internship, where you will serve a family affected by disability for an entire week. Family Retreat exposes the realities and needs of families affected by disability. As an Academy intern you will have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus as you serve your camper. 

The Dominican Republic mission trip capstones the internship, exposing you to suffering and disability in a developing country. The team will provide disability ministry training to local church leaders within the church network of Santo Domingo and model disability ministry through respite and home visits.
