SUMMARY:Global Missions Internship: Guatemala (Guatemala City)
DESCRIPTION:As an intern participating in the Spring Break Guatemala trip\, you will use your gifts and skillsets to serve people living with disability in an international context. Whether you’re majoring in counseling\, special education\, therapy\, or ministry or you are a person with great organizational\, photography\, or writing skills\, come ready to join a great team and provide the hope of Jesus to people with disabilities. \n“I feel like I have more experience with people with disability. But more than equipping me\, I feel like interacting with people with disability in Guatemala showed me areas I need to improve in how I interact with and treat other people [like] trying to communicate with the Spanish I know while not being afraid of misunderstandings and other awkward moments. Spending time with people with disabilities overseas opened my eyes to how prevalent disability is in every nation\, and how it’s difficult to live with disabilities regardless of what country you live in.” Intern – Andrew Johnson\, LeTourneau University. \nTraining\n\nLearn about suffering and disability from a biblical and cultural point of view through the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering course.\nReceive hands-on training to apply your education and skillsets in the field of disability while visiting ministry programs and schools that serve people with disabilities and their families or caregivers.\n\nHands-on Ministry\n\nWork alongside Joni and Friends partners and like-minded organizations to care for and improve the lives of people in Guatemala.\nServe in churches while experiencing the needs of people with disabilities in the local community.\nServe at a Joni and Friends International Family Retreat.\n\nMentoring\n\nBe mentored and challenged to implement disability ministry as part of your life calling.\nBe discipled in what it means to be a servant leader.\n\nCultural Experience\n\nExperience the culture and sights of Guatemala by visiting local restaurants and shops\, and exploring beautiful landscapes and sites in the city and surrounding areas.\n\nCost and Safety Protocols\nThe cost for this outreach is all-inclusive; however\, any pre-outreach vaccination requirements are the responsibility of each individual traveler. Joni and Friends will adhere to country protocols related to health and safety requirements. We are carefully proceeding with this internship with safety protocols in place.
