How might we continue this experience?
Launched cohort to engage young believers with missions.
We’re trying to reach those within our generation, especially young adults who may not understand the need for missions - Phoenix, UT
“Indigitous was such a rare and unique opportunity where I felt that my gifts were valuable in serving the Kingdom of God. I genuinely began to wonder what other opportunities God has in store for these gifts, and that was thrilling to see.”
ENDORSEMENTS
“The cohort has introduced me to many enthusiastic and talented individuals across the country, many whom have had global experiences. Working with them has encouraged me to keep exploring the overlap of my abilities and God’s heart for everyone to know Him.”
“Indigitous Serve showed me the future of missions in the digital age! We work on projects remotely with people we've never met, yet the realm of digitalization does not change our unifying goal: to let more people encounter God.”
Feedback from our Interns
ENDORSEMENTS
“I've been super encouraged to see the Indigitous Serve cohorts volunteering with their gifts in technology and design for the Kingdom. Excited to see what they work on next!”
“Indigitous Serve is doing a terrific job challenging a new generation to use their tech skills to help advance the Lord’s Kingdom among unreached peoples.”
- Dan Scribner, Joshua Project
“I highly recommend that missions agency leaders take advantage of any upcoming Hackathon or other event hosted by Indigitous. My own categories were challenged, my vision was stretched, and I found collaborators for the road ahead.”
