GAP ? Gaining a (new) Perspective
 

 



You can make a difference with your gap year!





 

Who?s it for?

Anybody with a spare year and who wants to run the risk of being changed forever.

  • you could have just finished secondary school or you just want to take a year off before you go to University or College
  • you could have just finished your Bachelors and want to take a breather before your Masters or beginning your career
  • you could be in Bible College or Seminary and needing a break. It may be that some of the program could be credited to your course

What is it?

You do a 1 year Global Awareness Program (GAP - get it?) so that you will Gain A (new) Perspective (GAP - again!) and be challenged to a different worldview. Think of it as a year when you can gain a completely different perspective on life and skill-sets that will last a lifetime. 

 
What do you do?

The program content primarily consists of

  • 2 months training through local SIM missionaries working with churches in a culturally diverse urban environment, in the SIM office, or other organizations whose work is more suited to your interests. In this time you will identify your ministry gifts
  • 5 months overseas working with experienced missionaries or you can continue to work locally in an urban setting
  • 3 months (optional) enabling and engaging your local church*


What does it cost?

  • Overall cost is between $12,000 to $16,000 which includes processing, training, airfares and costs of living in another country. Costs will vary from country-to-country
  • *fundraising an additional $3,000 will provide for an optional 3 months part-time work with your own or another local church
