Take a look back and ponder all that has happened in the past two years. Now take a look forward and consider all that God can do on the journey ahead. The IMB’s 2-3 year journeyman program provides an opportunity for 21-29 year-olds to serve in a supported position that fits your calling and gifts.
Learn the language, dive into a new culture and get to know a people who haven’t yet heard the hope of Christ.
If you think cookie-cutter boring when you think of people in East Asia, think again. 1/5 of the world’s population lives here, scattered across a landscape that ranges from rural mountainous villages to crowded sea-side mega-cities.
The opportunities for you to serve here are just as varied, and we can’t wait to meet you and help match you to the right place for you.
What are the qualifications and requirements?
The Journeyman program is for 21-29 year olds who have never been married. Many journeymen come straight out after college, but not all do. Some sense God’s leading after starting other careers or jobs. You must have a bachelor’s degree to serve as a journeyman.
A sense of God’s leadership, active involvement in a Southern Baptist church, physical and emotional health are some of the other qualifications. Jump over to the IMB Going page to read more of the requirements and start the application.
