The founders of the Studio Internship have been involved in missions for over 35 years and have been Frontiers team leaders and overseers in three countries. After watching scores of gifted, and highly motivated missionaries return home early – often discouraged and hurt – they felt called to build a ministry that would help prepare new workers for the hardships and challenges they would face in bringing the Gospel to unreached Muslim peoples. They gathered a core team of experienced and fruitful workers around them and began to make the dream reality. The core training team has, in total, over 250 years of field-life experience to draw from with ministry experience in more than 15 Islamic nations. They know and love Muslims and have a passion for training.

The Studio Internship was developed in response to the overwhelming need for fast, practical, and effective pre-field training. The curriculum is based on findings from interviews with over 750 field workers, field directors, and training directors representing more than 150 mission agencies serving in the Muslim world.
