Many of the international students that arrive at university campuses have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and would never be in the position to consider Christ in their home country. We have an opportunity to reach around the world by engaging students while they are in Tulsa, Tahlequah, and Prague, Czechia. These international students are the future leaders and business men and women of their respective countries, and will return home to influence their generation. You can be a part of a team that is reaching international students and equipping the church on campuses and in communities to join in God's rescue mission for the nations at their doorstep.

Your opportunity
This is where you come in. We are looking for passionate followers of Jesus who want to give God two semesters to serve international students in Oklahoma or Prague, Czechia. ICO sponsors on campus ministries called International Student Ministries. Essentially, on campuses, ICO is known as ISM. During these two semesters you will receive training in international ministry, as well as a treasure trove of experience in engaging young people from all around the world. The internship begins in August and concludes in May.
Full time internship
Our internship is full time (30-40 hours a week), and is funded through your personal fundraising. We will assist in your fundraising efforts through providing guidance and ICO promo materials. 70% of your funds need to be raised by the starting date in early August and 100% needs to be raised by the end of January the following year. The total amount you need to raise will be based on each intern’s individual needs. You will assess it together with your internship supervisor, but he or she will give final approval.
