| Title: |
First Year Missionary - South Africa |
| Description: |
While in South Africa, you will each focus on a ministry internship for roughly 20 hours a week. You will live in the community together with a local MXP (Missions Expediton) South African team, but will minister independently as you work in the Townships and poorer encampments of houses that are built out of scrap wood and other materials. During the first week we will introduce you to various projects like working with orphans, AIDS counseling, door to door ministry, soup kitchens, teaching in schools, planning of gardens, working with local women in the community, kids clubs, teaching individuals how to read and write, feeding points, sports ministry, building and painting of houses, etc. These projects are already established and you will join in on more than one of them. You will also work with the local church in the community. Building friendships with the local people will be one of the main focuses to lead them to Christ.
Although the internships are individual, we will also spend a smaller amount of time ministering together as a team in a variety of settings.
There will be weekly one-on-one discipleship for each team member, and group discipleship and teaching 3-4 times a week, mostly from the FYM team leaders. At times, local pastors, missionaries, or other believers will share in discipling the team.
A major focus of the FYM program is personal discipleship. You will be mentored by a godly man or woman, someone committed to helping you mature on your personal faith journey. Emphasis is placed on daily surrender and releasing anything that may keep you from close communion with God.
Group discipleship will focus on growing as a community of believers. Daily teaching hits major topics such as communion with God, spiritual gifts, evangelism, disciple making, leadership, church planting, missions, the body of Christ, and worship. Team discussions are geared to build into each individual the core foundations of being a disciple of Christ.
