Short-term Mission Trip to Colombia

Although it's optional, it is strongly recommended that the Enthnographic Research Intern takes a short-term mission trip to Colombia during their paid internship. This is an incredible opportunity to visit an OMS field and serve alongside an OMS missionary team for 7-10 days. Expenses for this trip must be raised by the intern; this trip is not paid for by One Mission Society.
