Muslim World 1-2-3 Summer Project 
Get beyond stereotypes to engage Islam on its own terms. This 6-week project is designed to offer students an introduction to Islam and a chance to encounter and engage Muslims in several different contexts. Build real friendships with Muslims that will break down fear and open the door for relationship and witness.
Some features:
- Full orientation/debriefing – go prepared, return ready
- Personal discipleship and one-on-one training
- Team environment
- Friendship-style outreach
Vision: To see students actively applying the truths of the Christian faith to the Muslim world context and committing to using their life to serve God’s people and his purposes in the world.
Dates: June 17-July 31, 2010
Cost: estimated at $3,600, including flights, room, board, transport (Excluding transportation to orientation)
Overview of program: 1-2-3 = 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks. Well, ok, we fudged a bit on the dates because it sounds good. Really it’s 6 days in the US, 10 days in France, and 3 weeks in Kyrgyzstan, but you get the point.
.
Location #1 – USA. 1-week (6 days). Engage immigrant communities of Afghan, Iranian, and Pakistani Muslims living in the US. Visit a mosque and consider the presence of Muslims in our own communities. Visit an Iranian-led outreach to Iran via satellite. Consider long-term work among immigrants and international students. We’re not only going to learn a lot, but also get to experience it.
Location #2 – Paris, France. 2-weeks (well, 10 days). Encounter religiously observant Muslims from North Africa dealing with life in an intensely secular context. We will be engaging in culture exchange with (primarily) college-aged students, learning about Arab culture, and praying through how to witness in a secular culture.
We will be ministering in a Paris, France, a city with many Muslim background college students and partnering with an existing college Christian fellowship.
French language ability would be a plus, but it is not required.
.
Location #3 – Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia). 3-weeks. Meet nominal 
Muslims in a poor former Communist country. Teach conversational English to high-school and college-aged students. Share your life and God’s love with students from many different Central Asian cultures.
This summer expect to:
- Learn
- Grow
- Reflect
- Experience
- Put it all into action
REQUEST AN APPLICATION
Go. Live. Serve.
Merge your education, career, and ministry. This is a site for Christians who want to pursue God’s calling for their lives. We are a sending agency committed to global outreach. We mobilize, equip and send committed Christian students and professionals to serve and reach the unreached in the megacities of the 10/40 Window through short-term programs as well as more extended commitment of two years and beyond.
Go short-term. Go long-term. Just go.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Tent-making
Tentmakers are ambassadors for Christ, self-supporting like the apostle Paul, who made tents for a living. Tentmaking provides both work and ministry platforms. By doing a good job, tentmakers contribute to society and demonstrate how Christian values are lived out in the real world. By reaching out to their colleagues, they have natural connections with local people, who are part of their everyday lives. Professions can provide good entry points to places that do not welcome traditional missionaries. Learn more.
Why go with a sending agency?
Tentmaking is challenging. As a missions-minded professional, you are called to do your work well and minister to other people, while adjusting to life in a foreign culture. The support of a like-minded community that understands the demands of your bi-vocational calling helps you to stay on course. Joining an agency offers you career counseling, pre-departure orientation, local support and accountability, on-going professional networking, pastoral care and mentoring through retreats, personal visits, prayer and regular email communications.
