FAQs
Who is Pathways for?
Have you ever thought that God might be calling you into missions? Do you want to see what life is like overseas?Are you convicted by the reality of the unreached and want to do something about it? Then Pathways is for you! Pathways internships are about experiencing the reality of missions work among unreached peoples.
Will I get to choose which field I go to?
You will be asked for your top three fields and why you feel drawn to them. Because of many factors, Team Expansion does not guarantee that you will get your top field choice. But we do guarantee that, if you are willing to learn and follow God’s leading, you will have an unforgettable summer!
What is covered in the money we have to raise?
As a Pathways intern, you must raise $6,500 for the summer term, regardless of which field you go to. That money will cover everything from when you arrive for training to when you leave Louisville to return home: flights, visas, food, lodging, language school, ministry expenses, and even some fun money.
What if I raise more than the funds needed?
If you raise more than the required amount, you have a number of options, including stipend, reimbursements, donation, or reserve.
Will I need a visa? Vaccinations?
Possibly. Some countries require visas, some do not. It’s the same thing with vaccinations. But don’t worry; we at Team Expansion will ensure you have all the right information and paperwork at all the right times.
Do I need to know the language before I go?
You will spend part of your semester in some form of language training. Team Expansion believes that learning the heart language of a people is important if we are to reach them with the Gospel, but we also understand that there is only so much you can accomplish in just one summer!
What happens if something goes wrong?
From lost baggage to natural disasters, overseas travel carries a lot of variables. Team Expansion works to prepare for anything that might happen, and we cover the entire semester in prayer. We’ve already started praying!
