Salt Lake City
Church Planting & City Ministry
North American Mission Board
namb.net/gensend
The number of evangelical Christians in the metro Salt Lake City area is estimated to be
2.2 percent. The hope is to change those statistics, because as Kerns explains, “those
numbers represent people who need to know Jesus.”
Already, we have planted Christian churches, the first of their kind, in Morgan, Utah and
Herriman, Utah. And additional church plants in places such as Logan, Ogden, Provo-
Orem and St. George are becoming active and relevant in their respective communities.
Still, this is only the beginning of a much bigger plan and help is greatly needed.
Connect with us to learn how.

Camp Garaywa
Clinton, MS
Summer Camp Staff
garaywa.org/
At Garaywa Camp & Conference Center, college-aged students (ages 18-25) have the
unique opportunity to serve as a summer staffer at our missions camps. Being a staffer
is an amazing service opportunity that allows them to teach campers more about Jesus
Christ and how He wants them to serve. The staffer also has the chance to grow as a
leader and see more of the spiritual gifts that they have been blessed with.
We cross-train our staff so that they get the opportunity to serve as both Cabin Leaders
and Activity/Support Staff in order to get a broad and extensive look at every area and
aspect of camp life. Each staff member will be asked to serve as both throughout the
summer depending upon the needs of the camp each week. As a Cabin Leader you will
oversee a cabin of 12-14 campers with your cabinmate. You will also lead your campers
in Bible studies, quiet time, night events, and other activities. The Activity/Support Staff
will assist in activities, trading post, camp store, grounds work, and kitchen duty. If you
have any further questions, please contact Camp Garaywa by calling 601-924-7034 or
send an email to Jordan East at jeast@garaywa.org.
Full information about the camp, their brochure, as well as an online application can be
found at garaywa.org/camp/cabin-leaders/Central Hills

to all activities and Bible study times. You will lead all small groups and spiritual training
time. As an activity instructor you can work and any of our many activity like our ropes
course, archery or rifle range, the horse barn, and the lake or the pool to name a few.
We train each of our staffer to work all of these positions and they can be moved around
during the summer depending on the need of the current camp. No matter if you are a
counselor or an activity instructor our staff are leading, by example, each camper in
spiritual development and pointing them to the cross of Calvary.
For more information about Central Hills or about being a Summer Staffer, you can
email Shane Thrash at sthrash@mbcb.org or call 662.289.973. You can find the

Arlington, TX
Summer Missionary
Each year, high school & college students come from all over the country to join
the work of Mission Arlington® and its congregations. These young people stay for all,
or for part of the summer, depending upon what is best for their circumstances and
God’s leadership in their lives. They participate in what the Lord is doing here in
Arlington and its surrounding communities through the ministry of Mission
Arlington®/Mission Metroplex®.
Our missionaries lead Summer programs in cooperation with our mission
congregations, and assist in the ongoing work of the Mission in its variety of forms. We
are blessed by the spiritual commitment of these young people. Their passion for God
and for people make a difference in this place.
Please contact Heather Young or Tillie Burgin at (817) 277-6620, or via e-mail at
hyoung@missionarlington.org, to talk personally about how you can get involved and
use your summer to make a difference for Christ! Heather & Tillie, or someone from our
Summer Missionary team, will respond right away.Knox County Association of Baptists
Knox County, TN
Community Engagement Interns
The short answer is to live a missional lifestyle of engaging people with the
gospel of salvation, hope and grace of Jesus Christ. Knox County, TN has a population
of just over 470,000. It is estimated that about 80% of this population would say they are
a ‘None’ or ‘Done’ in regards to a connection to Christ’s church. It is estimated that
38,000+ internationals from 100+ countries are living among us as our neighbors. Many
of these peoples come from areas of the world unreached with the gospel and where it
is difficult to have missionaries. Though we reside in the Bible Belt the mission to reach
people with the gospel that leads to an active and positive faith relationship with
Christ is great. Recently our associational leadership has identified priority focused
targets for engagement in10 Pockets of Lostness and 10 People Groups. As a
Community Engagement Intern you will be involved in many different avenues to
connect and engage people in conversation and seek opportunities to share the gospel.
You will follow-up with persons who seem to have an openness to the gospel. These
tasks will require skills in communication, relationship building and being a self-starter.
You will be trained in and expected to share the gospel with those you meet in the
community. Working hours may include evenings or weekends. We will work whenever
is best for us to make connections with people. We will work with the local church to
cast vision and bring them along in this task of mapping and engagement. This
opportunity will allow the intern the opportunity to engage people with the Gospel of
Hope and challenge churches to join them in the task of reaching all peoples of all
nations for Christ.
The day to day activity of the interns will vary. Some of the activities will involve
building relationships thru visiting restaurants, markets, and other businesses, prayer
walking (PW) and engaging people in conversations that are out in the area you are
PW, helping with a block party in a local community, assisting with special events in
parks and other venues to engage others, canvasing neighborhoods, mapping and
research. The intern will need to be discipline, motivated and willing to engage others in
conversations. We do not work office hours but you will be given time off for relaxation
and rest. We do live in a great city with the Smokey Mtns nearby. We will need some
fun times in the summer. You are expected to be in Knoxville for the entire time you are
assigned here. If you need to be away for an emergency or special reason it must be
approved by your supervisor.Praxis Nashville

Applications and reference forms can be found at https://glocal-
resources.org/experiences/praxis/ Applications are due by March 19, and reference
forms must be received by March 26.Applications and Funding: This year’s promotion is different than that of the typical BSU Summer Missions process. Please see specific positions and project leaders about applications and trip costs. They vary according to the position, but in general, the student is responsible for paying or raising the funds listed. Once you have applied and been accepted/approved for a missions position, you can reach out to bsu@mc.edu about an application for Mission Scholarships. Funds are limited and hard to predict depending on involvement, but we hope to give out several $100-150 scholarships and potentially, a few larger ones depending on the number of interested students. Some projects cost as little as gas money to and from the field and extra spending money for food. Talk with BSU Staff or student leaders if you need to look for a project with the lowest cost possible. We may also be able to help with fundraising ideas and getting you started. Communicate with us and we will help you as we can. A note from the Director: We are praying for you as you consider what God might have in store for your summer. Because of COVID-19, this year looks different for a lot of reasons. Summer Missions is certainly seeing the results of those changes and unknown factors. No matter what happens, God will work in the hearts and lives of people, including us. While we are encouraging you to apply directly through the sending and mission organizations this year, we would love to come alongside you in prayer, preparation, and other forms of support as we can. There are numerous positions in the US that have global impact and we know that you can find many ways to do that on your own. It may encourage you to know that in my almost 21 years of Collegiate Ministry I have never seen someone apply for Summer Missions and go through the process but not be able to serve because of lack of funding. Most students get about 3-4 summers in a lifetime where they can pick up and plant their lives somewhere different for 4-8 weeks, some don’t have the freedom to do it that many summers. We are praying that you will be willing and open to wherever God may lead you this summer. Let us know how we can help. Until all nations hear, Mandy Phillips
