PRACTICAL TRAINING * IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE * TRANSFORMED LIVES
ABOUT STUDIO
Studio is a missionary training internship for pioneers seeking to bring the Good News of Jesus to places where Christ isn’t known. At Studio, we take learning beyond the confines of the classroom into the life of a local Muslim community. You’ll experience life-on-life interaction with immigrants and refugees, and have daily opportunities to love and serve people in need. It’s an exciting opportunity to not only learn but to make a real difference in people’s lives.
At Studio your life will be challenged and shaped to help you succeed in your ministry calling. You’ll enjoy in-depth discussions with pros who have been there and done it – for decades. You’ll learn and practice proven skills that lead to greater fruitfulness and resiliency. You’ll make new friendships that last for a lifetime. You’ll put your learning into immediate practice and grow in living and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Studio is real ministry coupled with rigorous training. Are you ready?
IS STUDIO FOR ME?
Studio is for those want to…
…go where there is no church and where no (or few) messengers of the Gospel have ever gone.
…learn from experienced field workers who have spent years serving in the Muslim world.
…practice the tools and skills of effective ministry and immediately use them in a local Muslim community.
WHAT MAKES STUDIO UNIQUE?
LEARN
The Studio training team has more than 250 years of collective field experience. Many of our trainers have spent decades living in the Muslim world and have helped established multiple fellowships of believers from Muslim backgrounds. This wealth of experience gives interns unparalleled access to veteran field workers who know the realities, struggles, and joys of field life.
While at Studio, each intern is individually mentored by an experienced field veteran. Interns typically meet with their mentor weekly to discuss class training, life situations, field plans, and just to have fun. Our goal is to help you grow as a unique person preparing to minister in a unique situation. Mentoring helps you grow and think through your own plans and needs.
DO
Kids are part of the community at Studio! Our robust Third Culture Kids (TCK) training helps prepare your children to thrive through the cultural adjustments they will soon encounter. Age appropriate readings, videos and other training materials are used to help the children understand the same concepts their parents are learning.
Interns live together and minister in community. You will come to understand your own gifting and abilities better as you serve on a fully engaged ministry team. You’ll discover common values, and develop shared strategies and goals while growing as a community that loves and serves one another.
LAUNCH
Studio’s training is robust and practical. In most cases it can be applied the same day it was taught. Spiritual development lessons help us better connect with God. Outreach training helps us share more effectively with Muslims. Language learning lessons are immediately applied to help you learn a new language and teach English to immigrants.
Three months of training can save you years of frustration overseas. You’ll receive comprehensive training in nearly all areas considered essential by major mission organizations and experienced workers. It’s fast and focused. Studio acts as a springboard to field life and ministry. After 3 months you’ll be equipped with skills and perspectives that lead to fruitfulness and resiliency.
