Spirit of the Games: London - 2012 Olympics
IT'S TOO LATE TO ENROLL ON THE 2012 PROGRAMME, BUT LET US KNOW IF WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON THE 2013 PROGRAMME WHEN AVAILABLE.
Are you ready for 4 weeks of discipleship, missions, service, and fellowship?
OneSheep, a new media ministry initiative of HCJB Global and FEBA, is excited to announce the “Spirit of the Games” internship programme. This internship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students interested in experiencing first-hand new media in a dynamic ministry setting. We are searching for bright, passionate, and creative individuals who have a heart to use their talents in social media, video production, and communications for God’s kingdom.
The programme will be centred around the Olympics, a worldwide event that attracts millions and presents a fantastic opportunity for evangelism. Each participant will travel to England from July 16-August 13 to work with global partners and ministries in a joint effort to present the Christian worldview through the Olympics with engaging content and presentation. Through video production, social networking, and fan interaction on a OneSheep-created and driven website, participants will play integral roles in the project, facilitating evangelism from London out to the world.
After orientation in Worthing, England, participants will travel to London for the remainder of the programme, where they will find themselves right in the heart of the Olympic action. Each participant will be directly contributing both around the city and in our media rooms, communicating online with fans, producing video content and a daily blog, and gathering stories that share Christ with the world. All the while they will be immersed in ministry in a brand new way, not to mention receiving invaluable field experience in their focus areas.
Envision. Create. Innovate. Share.
Spread Truth. Hope. Christ.
Do all these things.
Join us in London!
