Shalom
Ministries Inc. often assists church groups that come to New York on Mission
Trips or for other ministry endeavors. But in the months of June and July,
we are very busy hosting our annual Summer Internship Program for Bible
college students.
This program enables students to experience first-century ministry in
a real way as they stand face-to-face with religious decendants of the
Pharisees on city streets to tell them that Jesus is the Messiah. Although
the reactions are often as they are described in the Book of Acts, the
summer training proves to be spiritually enlightening for the interns.
In addition to the street work among the Jewish people, the interns are
challenged in all aspects of personal evangelism and in urban ministry
as they interact with needy people from all over the world. The students
also spend time with several pastors in the city and assist them in a
variety of ways, and they are sent on Missionary Journeys to broaden their
exposure.
As part of the program, students take part in more than 40 hours of classroom
instruction, including such topics as "The Jewish Perspective of
the Scriptures" and "The Feasts of Israel in History and Prophecy,"
as well as a series of studies on the plan of God for the Church and Israel
and a detailed review of Romans 9-11.
Throughout the school year, we visit fundamental Bible colleges to speak
with students about this very exciting program. If you are interested
in learning more about the program, look for us if we are visiting a school
nearby or contact us at info@shalomnyc.org
for more information or to receive a brochure.
In the summer of 2003, we added a special module to our internship for
future church planters. For more details, please click here.
