As an intern with Next Step Discipleship Ministries, part of your day will be spent "ministering to ministries" based in Midland, Texas. This West Texas city of 100,000 has become a hub for several national and international ministries. Come experience the many facets of daily work for the Lord. Each day interns will also take part in a discipleship curriculum covering topics such as relationships, freedom, apologetics, The Great Books, and inductive Bible Study. Room and board for all NSDM interns is provided in the family environment of church members' homes. Health insurance and monthly stpidends are provided.

Summer 2010
Get into the mind of international believers by participating in an intensive two-month Bible study, right alongside them. Watch as theological boxes are broken (perhaps even your own), when believers are taught to simply let God's Word speak for itself. Last summer we had 16 international pastors and church leaders attend from through Africa, China, and Russia.
