England (South Asian) Internship

Vision

Planting culturally relevant churches among unreached peoples in the UK.

Overview of our South Asian Ministry in London

The purpose of the WHM South Asian ministry teams is to testify by word and deed to the Gospel of God’s grace to the South Asian population in and through London. We do this through church planting, training, and mobilizing laborers for the harvest. Our ultimate goal is to create a church planting movement among South Asians in the UK, reaching out to hundreds of thousands unreached peoples in their communities.

London is perhaps the most culturally diverse city in the entire world. You will live and work among people from many different nations. Interns will meet regularly for prayer, training and discipleship. The internship is a mix of organized time and unstructured time blocks to pursue the goal of extending the network of people connected to the church plant.The first two weeks, interns will join with other WHM interns to learn about crossing cultures and participate in gospel discipleship training.

London (South Asian) interns will:

  • Assist in the ministry of the WHM church planting team
  • Learn about South Asian culture as well as Hindu, Sikh and Muslim religions
  • Study and apply principles of grace as they learn to live with and love other people--both believers and unbelievers

  • Gain experience sharing the gospel cross-culturally through various structured and unstructured relational evangelistic ministries
