REACH THE LOST WITH THE LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

MATTHEW 28:18-20

LiveDead is one of our missions sending partners that can equip you to go.

Today, there are over 3 billion people in the world who are unreached with the Gospel. Not unsaved. Not unchurched.

Unreached.

This 42% of the global population could be born, live, and die without ever meeting a Christian let alone hearing the life-giving message of Jesus. These people have no access to the Gospel, yet less than 1% of all resources given to missions goes to these unreached people and places.‌

If this stirs your heart and you want to go, we want to help you do that!

BAM INTERNSHIPS

If you want to invest your marketplace skills or passions in the Great Commission, business as missions (BAM) is probably for you. The BAM internship program includes a variety of locations across various nations each with unique skills needs. These are some of our best BAMs that are doing incredible work to bring the love of Christ to unreached people groups.

As an intern, you will be engaging in ministry activities, team life, business development, and cross-cultural learning.

Each business has unique needs, which we call “business tracks.” You can explore more about the internships in the tabs below.

Reach out to our BAM Internship Coordinator to discuss the program and track that best fits who God has created you to be!

As part of the internship program, you will select a location that will have various business needs.

Multiple interns may go to the same location. While interns will learn many of the same things at a location, they may apply to take responsibility for specific tasks that differ from each other. For example, a fellow intern may apply for the finance track, while you may apply for the marketing track at the same business location.

For the purpose of the internship, we call these needs “business tracks” which include, but are not limited to the following specialties:

 

  • Marketing
  • Food Service Management
  • Barista Mastery
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Event Planning
  • CrossFit & Dance
  • Agriculture (Summer Only)
  • Finance
  • Administration

Each intern may have specific duties for a business that they have been assigned uniquely. We call these specialties “business tracks.” However, there are four broad disciplines that every intern will gain experience in regardless of their business location or track:

  • Cross-Cultural Skills
  • Business Management
  • Interpersonal Relations
  • Missiology

Internships typically range from 6 weeks to a full school semester long. In general, we parcel these into Spring, Summer, and Fall internship periods, but internships may be available for other periods upon request.

In general, interns should expect to spend 10 to 20 hours per week working in the business and 10 to 20 hours per week in team meetings, trainings, and ministry activities. For those enrolled at a university, this will allow time for online courses to be taken concurrently. The amount of extracurricular activities and online courses taken should be navigated on an individual basis and explored with your school advisor and onsite host.

 

These are unpaid internships. However, the total budget will be $3,000-9,000 USD depending on the location. This includes airfare, housing, insurance, meals, visa, transportation, etc.

Students may be able to transfer on-campus housing and food allowances to their internship location similarly to the way a study abroad is handled. Unless an arrangement is already in place at your school, this will need to be explored with your advisor and the internship host.

BI-VOCATIONAL MISSIONS

Have you ever considered finding employment in an unreached area of the world? Does your current employment allow you to work remotely? Are you a freelancer or digital nomad?

The good news is you don’t need to leave your career behind to become a missionary. You can go into all the world and use your marketplace work at the same time.

Traditional full-time missions asks you to raise full support and engage in work that may be outside your field of experience. Bi-vocational* missions is a path of missional living that allows you to continue in your current role or career or take employment in the marketplace on the mission field.

There is much to consider in the way of bi-vocational* missions, and we highly recommend that you pursue it in the community of a missions team. We are here to help with that! If you think God is calling you to bi-vocational missions, we’d love to talk. Schedule a call with our missions coordinator today and we will be glad to connect you with potential teams.

*The term “bi-vocational” should not be understood to mean that the believer is only on-mission half the time as a missionary and not in their day-job. The believer carries Christ at all times, no matter their vocation. “Bi-vocational” refers to the hybrid occupation that merges traditional employment with mission agency affiliation.
