Summer Intern in Mexico City, Mexico

Dates: June 5 – July 24, 2024

Application Deadline – April 14 (full funding due May 15)

 

Immerse yourself into a new language and culture through our Avance Immersion Program! Live with a host family, level up your Spanish skills and serve in local ministries + churches under a great team of fun & experienced leaders in Mexico City! Together with Mexican Christians, spend your life on what will outlast it in one of the largest cities of the world while growing and learning about God’s will for your life.

The largest city in Latin America (~21.2 million people), Mexico City is a metropolitan hub of business and culture- a strategic location for ministry outreach. As the Global South becomes the main sender of cross-cultural workers to the nations, it’s critical that Westerners come alongside and support the efforts of the Mexican church to share the gospel with the world. As “Avancistas” train in missions, there is much opportunity to learn under the leadership of Mexican believers, actively contribute to community development and use your life to impact the nations with the gospel.

 

Team Mission/Vision

Mission: To equip Christ-like leaders through cross-cultural engagement, holistic mission, and spiritual formation alongside national churches and ministries.

Vision: Avance enlivens young adults in Mexico City to participate in God’s transformation of the world.
