Youth Ministry Tip #10: Invest in interns for your ministry.
Youth Ministry Tip #10: Invest in interns for your ministry. Investing in people that are investing in your ministry will reach more people with greater impact. I have been using interns in my youth ministry for years and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It is great to be able to pour into young men and women who are striving to make a difference and impact for God. Interns are a little different than volunteers since they usually have more time to put into ministry and they have more accountability because of the intern label.
There are several ways you can inhance your intern ministry with no or little budget.
1) Have them volunteer their time. No financial gain. Just experience and something good to put on their resume.
2) Have interns raise all their support
3) Have interns raise some support and supplement them with a little income.
4) Have your church pay them a fair value for their time.
Pray for God to bring people up in your ministry or to your ministry to help you develop interns.
How are you using interns in your ministry? How have you been able to grow, train and develop interns?
