Spain - Monte Olivos Bible Center Internships
This internship is located in Cordoba, Spain, and includes travel to various locations in Spain depending upon the length of the internship.
This is one of the two distinct internship opportunities in Spain based in the Monte Olivos Bible Center (MOBC). The two intern options for Spain are described in separate sections because the length of internship, the ministry activities and requirements vary by location.

Living Conditions
Each intern will live at the Monte Olivos Bible Center in Córdoba. Center staff and missionary team members speak English and Spanish. Staffers are Christians who are involved in one of our local churches in the area. The Bible Center offers simple but comfortable living conditions, similar to a campground or dormitory setting.
Most of the interns’ ministry responsibilities are carried out at the Bible Center, under the supervision of the local missionaries. They gather together on a regular basis (usually weekly) with other interns as a team and with supervising missionaries and pastors for fellowship, cultural orientation and debriefing.
