Intern will provide assist with pastoral direction including leading
Morning and Evening Prayer at the Annunciation Mission (AM).
The intern will develop a pastoral program for the AM. The
program will include orientation meetings, morning and evening
services, Bible Studies, programs geared to help people understand
News Orleans history and culture, and de-briefing sessions.
Several variations of the program will need to be developed to be
team specific: adult, youth, college, and a mix of age groups.

The program will aid the AM in reaching its goal of being a

“Mission in a Box.” It will help mission teams begin to answer the
question: what does it mean to be a Christian (and church) in the
21st Century in my local culture? Using their experience in New
Orleans, mission teams will be confronted by Jesus Christ’s call to
both belief and action.
