Boston University Navigators

Campus Ministry

SITE: 189 Bay State Rd, Boston MA
MENTOR: Robert Meyer
PHONE: (8303) 359-7153
EMAIL: Robert.meyer@navigators. org
WEBSITE: https://www.navigators.org
DENOMINATION: Interdenominational Parachurch Organization
POSITION: For the last 12 years, training young adults for ministry has been a major focus of my ministry in every context where I have served. I believe equipping and empowering others for the work of ministry is an essential part of our calling. (Eph 4:11-12) I work with a community of university students (about 50) as a campus minister. We are seeking an intern who is in an active and growing relationship with Jesus, is eager to learn new perspectives and be challenged to think in new ways, have the ability to maintain a positive attitude, be willing to sacrifice personal preferences for the sake of personal and team growth, and have a desire to trust the internship supervisor.    Our intern would meet one-on-one and in small groups with other students who are exploring faith and/or from other cultures. They would acquire tools and principles for evangelism & discipleship and may lead service projects in the city as a way to build community and a heart for justice.
HOURS: 10 hours per week with option for more, if desired
FINANCIAL: You would have the option to raise funds through Navigators that would be paid out as a stipend. Stipend could be as much as $500/ week
TIME FRAME: Spring; flexible
TRAVEL TIME [from GCTS]: 45 minute drive
OTHER: We are an interdenominational team that puts the mission before the institution, who emphasizes discipleship and spiritual growth over programs, and strategy that prioritizes relationships and dynamic ministry over structures. Roughly 20% of our students are international students, from India, China, Indonesia, Ecuador, Brazil, Nigeria, and other countries. As a ministry, we emphasize one-on-one discipleship. We interact with many students who have no faith commitment and many more who practice nominal/ cultural Christianity- thus evangelism (in a liberal and pluralistic context) is also a common feature of our ministry.

Ideal candidates would be comfortable leading small groups, speaking up front, or desire to grow in these areas. Candidates should be desiring and willing to plug into Young Life community – a vibrant community of college students and post-grad leaders who are united by a common mission to see lost kids come to know Jesus
