Read what past interns are saying about their experience at STS.

"Through the summer volunteering as a translator I was constantly being put out of my comfort zone with people. It’s been amazing to see God grow my comfort in speaking to others and confidence in myself"

John

"I loved being able to see firsthand the teams work with the local church. It was cool seeing two languages, two cultures and two styles of worship coming together under the banner of unity in the love of Christ"

Christian

Being an intern this summer has been an amazing experience. I loved getting to know people and building relationships with them. Bringing the joy of Christ to the people of México is one of the most rewarding parts of working with STS"
