Due to the international nature of the Missionary Apprenticeship Programme/Gap Year Programme (accordingly) and the current outbreak of Covid19, the normal delivery of this programme has been temporarily interrupted. This remains under review, so please continue with your application and we will contact you when this resumes.
 

What is MAP?

If you want to get mentored by missionaries on the field and learn from those who have gone before, the Missionary Apprentice Programme aims to bring you a greater global view of God's kingdom. 

Get taught and inspired to recognise the call of the Holy Spirit on your life and the endless possibilities opened up by faith in our compassionate God.

Whether you've just left school, are starting university or working full time, this two year journey of learning will help you develop your understanding of international mission alongside work or study. Applications can be made at any time.

Who it it for? 
For ages 16-25 this is aimed at those in full or part-time work or study, those who feel like they are still working things out and those who have it all together. It is for all those who are ready to go on a journey discovering the power of Christ across the world and how they can play a part in His plan.

How will it work alongside full time study or work?
Meetings and training will be at weekends and skype calls will be organised around your diary. 

The idea is to journey with you through the everyday challenges of work and study, putting into context how the two can work hand in hand.
