LIVE AND SERVE STATESIDE or OVERSEAS FOR 1-3 YEARS

Our Overseas Residency program offers you the unique opportunity to live and serve in a cross-cultural ministry residency. This could be either stateside or with one of our overseas partners that is looking for someone like you who is willing to leave the comforts of home to serve Christ wherever He calls you.

Applicants must be a college graduate or be entering either their junior or senior year in college and be at least 21 years old. You must be willing to raise financial support the will cover you for the duration of your residency. You must demonstrate a willingness to learn, a love for people, and a deep commitment to the Gospel and to Jesus.
​
In many cases, you can continue your college education online while serving overseas. You will receive training before departure and your training will continue during the length of your residency. Residency students might end up spending the rest of their lives living overseas. Or they might return home forever changed by the how they have lived and what they have learned. In either way, the experience you gain and perspective that you will have will be an invaluable asset. 

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

RESIDENT MINISTRY TRAINING (Nashville, TN)

AUGUST - DECEMBER (14 WEEKS)

​ You would live and learn and serve in an area of Nashville that has over 90 different people groups - over 30 of which are considered "unreached" such as Afghans, Kurds, Somalis, etc. You would be housed with a member of our ministry staff and/or other Mission Corp students, all of whom are in their early 20's. You would learn alongside staff, Mission Corp, and Gap Year Students in a classroom setting two days a week and then spend 20-30 hours the rest of the week doing cross-cultural ministry and on-the-job training with our team.

Following the successful completion of your residental training, you have three options...

OVERSEAS MINISTRY INTERNSHIP (4-6 Months)

Serve in a ministry internship alongside a missionary team serving overseas in a gospel-needy people group or region.

STATESIDE DIASPORA MINISTRY TEAM (6-12 Months)

Serve as a member of our Area Outreach Team and help us train high school and college students as well as churches in cross-cultural ministry while you continue to do cross-cultural evangelism and discipleship among refugee communities here in Nashville. In the summer, you would be able to lead short-term missions teams overseas.

OVERSEAS MINISTRY INTERNSHIP (1-3 Years)

Serve in a ministry residency alongside a missionary team serving overseas in a gospel-needy people group or region.

You don't necessarily have to know which of the three options to choose right away. We will get you learning and serving here first in and then we will see which direction the Lord leads and which opportunities He makes available.

This is a support-raised opportunity. This means that you need to raise personal support to pay for your participation in the Mission Corp program. It would cost about $6,000 for the Fall 2023 semester (includes room and board and all program fees). The 5-Month internship would cost between $5,500-$8,000. Stateside for one year would cost about $15,000 and Overseas for one year would cost anywhere from $18,000 to $26,000. These are estimates, obviously. And all costs are all-inclusive, meaning that they include international travel, room and board, and other expenses.
