STINT is a one or two-year program on an international university campus, either as a foreign student or foreign language teacher. You will be aiding long-term workers in helping to raise up national leaders (individuals from that country) for the ministry.
The focus of STINT is evangelism and discipleship with opportunities for on-the-job training and personal development. You will be doing ministry in the context of a team, ministering alongside other Americans and national students.
On STINT you'll be involved in creating a dynamic national ministry while you:

• open new ministries
  
• connect with students and show them their need for the gospel
  
• disciple and build believers in the ministry
  
• mentor students to become the ministry leaders God intends them to be, not only on the college campus, but also in the community
  

STINT:: DETAILS

The focus of your time overseas can be broken down into four distinct elements.

Love the Lord
Our dream is that you would return from your time overseas more in love with Jesus. While overseas, you will have more time than ever with the Lord, and our desire is that you would learn to love Him with all of your heart.

Love my team

You will be on a team of fellow students and Campus Crusade staff from different universities with different personalities, gifts, and ways of looking at the world. You will develop great relationships . . . and learn how to work through conflict. Together you will grow from team to family.

Launch a movement

The locations that we make available have been chosen carefully. In most cases the ministry in a particular location is either non-existent or very young. Our desire is to help establish self-sustaining movements on campuses in each of these locations. You will share your faith, disciple young believers and help train them to win others . . . while dreaming of the day when they lead this new ministry on their own.

Learn a new world

You will experience a host of new stuff and learn a whole new world. You will have the opportunity to live in a different culture, eat different foods and connect with people in a whole new way . . . and it will change the way you live.

1. What will I do on STINT?

   You will be on a team that is responsible for beginning or continuing to build a movement of evangelism and discipleship at your location. Your main activities will involve sharing your faith, doing basic follow up, possibly leading a small group, planning retreats and weekly meetings, and training students to be leading the ministry after you have gone. You will spend time praying for these goals as a team and working together to make it happen.

2. What will a typical day look like?

   You and your team will work at building a weekly schedule that focuses on fulfilling your goals in ministry. An average day will involve meeting new friends and sharing your faith, or meeting with old friends and discipling them. Evangelism is the mainstay of your year on STINT and most activities revolve around it. During the course of the week you will also have team meetings, team prayer, team socials, outreaches (socials for the students you meet) and language classes.

It most cases it is very very relational. You are making friends and talking about Jesus. You are building relationships and bringing people to a point of decision. After you see people trust Christ you begin to do basic follow up with them and begin to help them develop the skills they will need to walk with God.

12. How will I raise it?
    Most of your support will come from individuals you ask to be part of your support team. We call them ministry partners and we will provide extensive training on how to gather a team of ministry partners. Be encouraged, every staff member in the world is responsible for raising their support and God has done it over and over again. He continues to prove himself faithful and gives abundantly beyond what you can imagine.
    In Spring of 2010, KCCC will host a training that all STINTers are required to attend. At this time we will give you extensive training on how to develop a ministry partner team, a biblical basis for support-raising and strategy for getting started. You will need to have your ministry partner team completed at least a month before your departure in order to get plane tickets and visas organized.

15. Do I get insurance?
    Yes. Coverage will begin on the day your ministry begins. So, if you finish your support raising and are accepted to STINT, your coverage will begin on the day you depart.

    It varies from location to location, but it most countries you go and get treatment, file a claim and then get reimbursed. Most locations have adequate medical facilities. If it is an emergency or a serious issue, you will leave the country to get adequate treatment in the best place possible. If it is an extreme emergency you will be air lifted out by our emergency evacuation service that covers you.

18. Is language a barrier?
    English is a global language. Most of your time will be spent with students who are studying English. You will quickly learn the basics of language to be able to get around. You'll also make friends who will be able to help you with things like shopping, paying bills, and other necessities of life. In some places there will be long term International Campus Staff who will be able to help as well.
