Internships
An internship with Servants is very different from most other short-term trips, because you will probably be living with a local family in a slum. Through the experience you can learn so much about God, suffering, poverty, discipleship, compassion, powerlessness, and faith. All of these things are essential to your life as a follower of Jesus no matter where you are. Living in the midst of poverty helps you see the world through God’s eyes even when you are only there for a short time.
