What is studio?

NEXT STUDIO SPRING 2021

 ONRAMP (Pre-term readings and online interactions):  Begins February 15
SPRING TERM:  March 28 – June 26 (Subject to COVID restrictions)

At Studio, we’re passionate about getting you to the field—and helping you stay and thrive long–term. Our experience-driven internship extends beyond the confines of the classroom into the life of a local Muslim community. Through daily interactions with new Muslim friends, you’ll get to put your learning into immediate practice and grow in living and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Studio will change your life to help you change the world.

STUDIO IS FOR MEN AND WOMEN LIKE YOU

Who desire to bring the Gospel to places where few or no workers have ever gone. You’ll be equipped for long-term service overseas and gain practical ministry experience as you learn to make disciples of Jesus Christ among Muslims. Veteran field workers with years of experience in the Muslim world will coach and mentor you as you apply your learning in our community of practice.
