Life as a Campus Intern

Do you ever wish you could do more ministry on campus, only to find that your school responsibilities consume most of your time? The DiscipleMakers Campus Internship gives you that opportunity! You’ll experience:

Gospel-Saturated Community: You will live together in the same apartment complex with other interns, enabling your community to be a tremendous source of encouragement and growth in Christ. While you will inevitably sin against each other, the gospel will serve as your motivation to forgive and to care for one another by pointing each other to God's amazing grace.
Lifestyle Evangelism: You’ll spend much of your time reaching out to Penn State students, inviting those who don't know Jesus to participate in evangelistic Bible studies. You’ll be amazed as God grows you in faith and in your ability to witness in ways that are culturally relevant yet uncompromising.
Transforming Discipleship: As an intern, you will be discipled regularly by DiscipleMakers staff. The Lord will use them to lovingly speak gospel truth into your life, helping you change from the inside out. You will likewise have opportunities to disciple other interns and students that you meet.

Teaching Opportunities: Knowing that God uses the preaching of His Word to change lives, some interns will get a chance to teach in a large-group setting. This may be an intimidating experience, but we will give you helpful instruction and opportunities to practice as God develops you into an effective communicator for Him.
Application-Oriented Bible Study: You will participate in what may be the most in-depth Bible study you have ever experienced. We’ll study the Scriptures together for two hours each week, and you’ll spend three hours or more studying the passage to prepare in advance. By the end of the summer, you’ll have grown tremendously in your ability to accurately handle the Word of Truth.
Tight Teamship: You’ll work closely together with others as a team in order to encourage one another in ministry, plan events, and develop as leaders. Weekly team meetings will help you to serve together effectively for Christ's Kingdom.
