About Serge Internships in Southern Spain

The Serge Team in Southern Spain, through a church plant, Bible studies, outreach, activities for kids and teens, and opportunities to learn English, is seeing a Christ-focused community taking root in an area where the younger generation has been left with a deep cynicism toward the church and religion. Joining them, I will be mentored and discipled by the long-term missionaries on the team, learn what it looks like to do ministry in this context, and support the life of the local church by helping lead English camps, among other things!

As an intern this summer, I will spend 8 weeks doing hands-on overseas missions work and growing in the gospel. I’ll get to experience Christ-centered, grace-based, personal mentoring and learn how to build intentional relationships, while sharing the gospel in a cross-cultural context.

A Busy Season and a Big God

I have the privilege to be a summer intern with Serge (a missions sending agency) summer 2026! This opportunity will help cultivate grounds for further trust in the Lord’s character. He is the shepherd who knows my heart and has led me to this moment.

How you can join me!

I’m asking for prayer for the following things:

  • Trust in the many unknowns this path brings
  • Preparation of both my heart and the hearts of those I’ll meet
  • Fully funded by April 2026

Each Serge intern is attempting to raise $6,476.95 to cover the costs of the internship for 8 weeks including our travel costs and our living and ministry expenses. I could not do this without the support and generosity of others, and I’m asking that you might pray this week and consider if you would partner with me financially.
