Missions Internship
Serve for six months in another nation!
Be trained • Serve overseas • Study along the way
The vision for DMI’s internship program is to:
- See more young people engage in missionary service
- Serve DOVE missionaries and churches around the world
- Develop interns in cross-cultural awareness and communication
We understand that during this time of uncertainty over international travel and personal health, those interested in missions may not want to commit to an internship at this time. If you are interested in one of our internship programs, please reach out to us! We would love to at the very least start the conversation.
We anticipate start dates for these internships to be in late 2021 or early 2022.
