OTHER: We are seeking seminarians who have a love for Christ and a deep desire to see lost students come to know Him, who are willing to take initiative and risks, and are teachable; especially in regard to ministry philosophy/technique and time management. 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

This opportunity is open to both male and female students of any denominational background.
