Passport and China visa. Turkey Experience life in Istanbul, Turkey in a project that will test your cross-cultural adaptability and develop your vision for one of the least evangelized people groups in the world today, the Muslim Turks. Experience a variety of ministry opportunities, interact daily with Muslim friends, and learn about the rich historical and biblical background of modern Turkey as part of a summer team or internship program, all under the tutorage of an experienced long-term resident of Turkey. This program is challenging spiritually and emotionally as participants are stretched in their cross-cultural and relational skills. Check with MUP for exact dates.
Customized internships are possible other times of the year.
