Internship Structure
Cohorts & Coaching
Interns are divided into cohorts of 5-10 depending on their track, focus, and time zone.
Every intern is assigned their own personal Crescent Project coach who will lead him/her through a combination of challenging academic work and hands-on training.
Coaches keep interns moving forward by meeting each week to listen, ask good questions, help overcome obstacles, and identify actions interns must take each week to succeed.
Interns meet weekly on Zoom with their coach and cohort.
Two Tracks
Virtual Track:
The virtual track has flexibility to be completed anywhere in the world! Past interns have joined us from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Training and coaching will take place virtually, with in-person, hands-on application in your local community. We are a global team who make a local impact for Jesus! Interns are expected to invest around 12 hours a week.
Hybrid track:
APPLICATION DEADLINE PASSED
The hybrid track gives interns a chance to minister and learn together. All interns in this track will meet in Nashville May 30-June 2 for an in-person orientation. Additionally, interns have the option to join one of Crescent Project’s mission trips either in the US or abroad in June. In 2024, the international trip will serve in Turkey and the domestic trip will serve in the New York city area with our partner, Global Gates. Both of these trips will give interns experience loving, understanding, and making disciples of Muslims. Please see the “Investment” tab for estimated costs and more details regarding these trips.
Four Focuses
Missions &
Discipleship
Church
Planting
Interns choose one of the following four focuses. There is a core curriculum all interns will cover and there are specific readings and activities for each focus. For example, interns in the Church Planting & Discipleship focus explore more case studies regarding church planting in UPG groups and if they join the hybrid track, they will interview church planters either in the New York area or Turkey.
Missions & Discipleship: Interns are equipped to reach Muslims wherever God calls them to go and to interact with Muslims in their local areas.
Church Planting & Discipleship: Interns learn church planting methodologies, discipleship strategies, and interact with Muslims in their local areas.
Apologetics & Polemics: Interns reply to Muslim’s objections to the faith, dismantle Islamic propaganda, and interact with Muslims in their local areas.
Going Deeper & Activism: Interns dive deep into comparative theology and Islamic history in order to engage in significant research, writing, and activism.
