Year for God
YEAR FOR GOD Internship (Non-NZQA)
Not sure how God wants you to contribute in the world?
Looking to do something different before you head off to a job or further study?
Need some headspace before diving into the next big thing?
Maybe Emmaus’ YEAR FOR GOD is exactly what you need……
YEAR FOR GOD is all about helping you to:
Discover your God-given strengths and your part in God’s plans for the world
Understand what you believe about core Christian truths and why
Wrestle with how to live well in the world
Find your purpose and your community.
Emmaus’ Year for God will give you a solid foundation for whatever God calls you to next. You’ll get a much clearer picture of who you are, what you believe and how God wants you to make a difference in his world. You’ll be part of a friendly, experienced and safe learning community that’s been training Christian leaders in the Manawatu for 15 years.
What does a Year for God look like?
It’s an internship: a combination of learning, practical experience and mentoring.
Participate one day a week in a welcoming and relaxed learning community (6 hours)
Work in a practical ministry situation that could be with youth, local church, Christian organisation or potentially a Christian school (20 hours)
Meet with a mentor for tailored coaching, helping you make sense of what God is saying and doing in your life (1 hour fortnightly in your ministry; 2 hours per term with an Emmaus coach)
What’s different about Year for God?
More one-on-one coaching that maximizes your learning and deepens your understanding of yourself
Accelerated growth in character, maturity and your ability to work well with others
Being part of a community of like-minded people that eat and pray together and are there for each other
You get to ‘try out’ different ministry activities before making a big commitment.
