Beginning with a week-long Leadership Training Experience, interns are provided with opportunities to sit under the mentorship of influential Christian leaders. From our own GO TELL staff to nationally-known speakers, interns are exposed to AWESOME evangelism and discipleship on a daily basis. GO TELL Interns laugh together, labor together, worship together, cry together, and share together. By the end of the summer, they are a true team one that s stronger, wiser, and better equipped to serve the world around them.
