This is a great time to think about – coming to Mexico in 2016!<\/strong> No, really – it actually is.<\/p>\n

\"JoinLet me put it this way. It’s nice to be prepared, isn’t it? Nice for you, nice for us, and nice for Camino Global, our mission agency. If you’re thinking of coming to Mexico for our EMERGE internship next summer, you can actually apply right now, and everyone will actually be a lot more prepared for your visit!<\/p>\n

Or you could wait until the new year, ponder it over January, delay until February.. no, don’t do that.<\/p>\n

And there’s another bonus. If you apply between today and the end of the year (hey, I didn’t say you couldn’t ask your Mommy first. You’ll see her over Christmas, right?), you won’t even have to pay the application fee!<\/b><\/p>\n

Bonus!<\/p>\n

Here are two great opportunities. First, get deeply involved in community centre outreach<\/a> for 4, 6, or 8 weeks<\/b> (your choice). If you read this blog, you know about the kinds of things we do here. There are people who need to be reached – we need your help!<\/p>\n

Or, if you’re the unsettled type, there’s another choice. You can split 6 weeks into 3, visiting three different cities in Mexico<\/a><\/b> (including the BIG ONE, of course!). You can learn a variety of ministries in a variety of quite different contexts. This is the “Journey Mexico” internship.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, send them to this post can they can click on either link above to request more information. The program is designed for those 18 and up. And yes, we’ve had people in their 20s, 30s, and people even older who won’t tell us their age (just kidding).<\/p>\n

In fact, I’ll make it even easier for you. Write down or copy this link, and send people here — bit.ly\/emerge16<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We would love to see you in the summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
