The Intern Program:

The Tamarindo Ministries intern program is aimed at mentoring individuals in their faith while at the same time having them serve in a variety of Christian and non-Christian settings.  This blend of thinking, reflection and Christian service, it is our hope that individuals will leave their intern experience with a deeper sense of their Christian identity and call. 

• During the internship, the intern will be expected to:
• Participate in bible study, discussion groups, and individual spiritual counsel.
• Read assigned Christian literature and participate in discussion of its contents
• Serve at the Café and at least one other ministry related event/activity.

 Ministry Opportunities: While volunteering at the Cafe, interns are expected to plug into different ministry opportunities in the area.  The idea behind this is that interns would be a light in the community, serving in a variety of different social circles. Ministries that Café volunteers/interns have been involved with in the past include:
