Ambassadors In Sport Inturnship

Ambassadors Internships are one aspect of the training programme of AIS. Our desire is to position young people who love Jesus and love football in an environment where they can learn about and participate in football mission in the local community through the local church. AIS internships offer participants a great opportunity for cross-culture ministry and experience as each office delivers a similar curriculum but with a wide variety of practical experience.

By joining Ambassadors in Sport through the internship, there are many mission opportunities such as

• football camps and clinics,
• prison ministry
• schools ministry
• player ministry (as part of men’s/women’s football team)
• international playing and coaching tours.
• Christian Festivals.

For 2012, AIS is running a special Internship to focus on the Olympic Games and outreach around this world event.

The Games Internship

With the eyes of the world focused on London in July/August 2012 sportsmen and women from many nations will be profiled, their achievements mourned or celebrated with great national pride at stake. The city of London will be awash with a colourful mix of flags, languages, fashion and cultures. At this moment London is in the final preparation phase with the last-minute touches being added to the various venues and trial events take place to test equipment and procedures.

While not preparing venues AIS are taking very seriously our responsibility to help prepare Churches to make the most of this global sporting event.  The opportunity to train and equip churches to run and coordinate their own sporting outreaches during the games is an opportunity we don’t want to pass up. The whole goal of the 2012 ‘Games Internship’ therefore will be for interns to learn about sports mission to a greater depth than most church laypeople, and thus be a resource to serve a number of London Churches in specific outreaches during the Games ….. and beyond!

Dates: January 9^th – August 17^th, 2012.

Cost: £3000.00 (price includes room and board, training costs, coaching/playing kit and local travel expenses).

Training: The AIS internship involves both practical training and classroom training. The practical training involves working with our experienced staff in the various sports mission projects through churches. Some of this experience might include

• Ministry in schools and youth clubs
• Leading after-school football and games clubs
• Running tournaments and leagues in MUGA facilities
• Working on the AIS Hope Academies with the homeless and needy.

Classroom training takes place every Friday and involves such topics as

• AIS Vision, Mission and Values
• Personal and Spiritual development
• Models of Sports Ministry
• Biblical Studies
  • What does the Bible say about sport
  • Sport and Ethics
  • Sport and Evangelism
  • Understanding Mission
• Coaching Principles

In addition, all interns will gain the FA Level 1 Certificate in coaching Football.

Ambassadors in Sport was established in Bolton, England in 1990 and now has offices throughout Africa, Asia, North and South America and Europe.  The vision of AIS is ‘transformation through football outreach’ – transforming individual  lives, communities and football culture itself with a Good News message.  Our mission is to envision, train and mobilise the Church in serving the local community through a variety of strategic programmes (Football Academies, Teams and Tournaments, Schools work, Tours and more). Using a curriculum of ‘Football, Faith, Future’ the opportunity to engage footballers of all levels in a non-threatening environment is immense.
