PAID SUMMER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY!
Lumenations is a non-profit missions/media organization. Our “big picture” vision is to gather stories of disciple-making movements from around the world and develop discipleship training resources that are simple, powerful, digital, versatile and free.
We are looking for one or two serious Jesus-followers who would like to intern with us for the summer of 2020. This will be a unique opportunity to put your creative skills to work in global Kingdom ministry. Keep reading, a link to apply is below…
Here are some of the qualities and skills we are looking for:
A passion for God and a heart for the world
A teachable spirit with a desire to connect with God’s purpose for his/her life
A self-starter and creative thinker
Some abilities in one or more of these areas (priority level - 10, very important / 1, not important):

animation (8)
web-site creation (9)

a knowledge of professional Adobe software and/or Final Cut Pro [8]
A willingness to travel and connect with believers in other cultures (and to raise some funds for the travel)
An openness to potentially serving with Lumenations long-term
A desire to step out in faith and have a truly life changing summer experience!
Available from the last week of May to the first week of August (may be flexible with that if needed)
Some bonus qualities we are looking for (NOT requirements, but they would help you land the job):
Experience in ministry or missions
Experience in traveling internationally
Experience with mission trips, especially international ones
Taken a World Christian class or the Perspectives course
Experience with DMM (if you don’t know what this is, don’t worry about it)

Here is what we are offering for our summer internship:
You will be under the direction and mentoring of Ken Shackelford
Room and board: if needed, we will find a place for you to stay. It won’t be the ritz (welcome to missions and ministry). It may be the extra bedroom in our office/house or it may be with another family. “Board” means we will help provide breakfast and lunch - the evening meal will usually be up to you.
A small income - equivalent to a 30 hours/week minimum wage job for 11 weeks
Discipleship Training and Education - You will have roughly 10 hours/week (average) of time devoted to learning, growing spiritually, and connecting to YOUR co-mission with Jesus. Yes, reading will be involved but it will be pretty great eye-opening stuff! Get ready to be stretched!
Projects - we will be working together on a variety of projects for Lumenations - training, story-telling, marketing/promotional, etc.
Travel - you will have the opportunity to go on one international mission trip and possibly two depending on funds you are able to raise to help with costs (plus funds we are raising for Lumenations). We will help you out and even give matching funds.
