Welcome to summer internship page. CEF of ND is seeking the next leaders for their 2025 summer ministry. Please join us this summer as we take the gospel to ND through “Every Child, Every City, Every Day.”
What is the goal of an internship? CEF of ND desires train up the next generation of leaders for ministry. We see the pattern for internship/mentoring has a biblical foundation as set by the Lord Jesus. He worked closely with the 12 disciples over His three-year ministry on earth before He gave them the responsibility of spreading the Gospel to the entire world. The apostles in turn followed His example. They trained others by working side-by-side with young believers before establishing them as leaders in churches.
CEF of ND recognizes that our ministry requires a high level of commitment, training, spiritual insight, and maturity. Thus, we find it beneficial for interns to serve alongside an experienced worker before beginning the ministry on your own. Our goal is to align the right people in the right place with the right training and practical experience. This is to achieve His plan for us to effectively equip the next generation of leader.
