Interns will be assigned into a cohort of 5 - 10,
coached by Crescent Project staff,
in either a virtual or hybrid track,
choosing one of three focuses.

Internship Structure

Cohorts & Coaching

  • Interns are divided into cohorts of 5-10 depending on their track, focus, and time zone.

  • Every intern is assigned their own personal Crescent Project coach who will lead him/her through a combination of challenging academic work and hands-on training.

  • Coaches keep interns moving forward by meeting each week to listen, ask good questions, help overcome obstacles, and identify actions interns must take each week to succeed.

  • Interns meet weekly on Zoom with their coach and cohort.

Two Tracks

Virtual Track:

The virtual track has flexibility to be completed anywhere in the world! Past interns have joined us from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Training and coaching will take place virtually, with in-person, hands-on application in your local community. We are a global team who make a local impact for Jesus! Interns are expected to invest around 15 hours a week.

Hybrid track:

The hybrid track includes everything in the Virtual Track and allows interns to learn together in person. All interns in this track will join a one-week mission trip to Paterson, NJ, in June 2025. Paterson has the largest concentration of Turks in the USA and a large population of Arab Palestinians.

Three Focuses

Missions &
Discipleship

Church
Planting

Apologetics
& Polemics

Interns choose one of the following three focuses. There is a core curriculum all interns will cover and there are specific readings and activities for each focus. For example, interns in the Church Planting & Discipleship focus explore more case studies regarding church planting in UPG groups.

  • Missions & Discipleship: Interns are equipped to reach Muslims wherever God calls them to go and to interact with Muslims in their local areas.

  • Church Planting & Discipleship: Interns learn church planting methodologies, discipleship strategies, and interact with Muslims in their local areas.

  • Apologetics & Polemics: Interns reply to Muslim’s objections to the faith, dismantle Islamic propaganda, and interact with Muslims in their local areas.
