Practicum Experience
Our vision is to create a movement of leaders who LIVE THE IMPOSSIBLE.
Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
On our own, our resources are limited. With God, we can access the unlimited. It’s time to believe God for more. We don’t want to live in our capacity – we want GOD-capacity. God-sized is void of ceilings. Let’s believe God for what the world would say isn’t possible!
Is God calling you to build a lasting legacy? How have you been gifted to impact cities for years to come?
We believe in your call, and we want to see you become everything that God is calling you to be. This isn’t about what we get out of you, but instead, it’s about what God is calling out of you.
We want you to live each day with purpose and on mission for what God has called you to do! We believe that God has chosen you for a distinct purpose, and we want to see you flourish in your calling while serving in the 1Day Field School experience. You’re going to be challenged, stretched, strengthened, and positioned to change the world.
What we do in Houston for a season will have a lasting legacy. This is your opportunity to be a part of a new model of missions and evangelism for America.
Be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
The 1Day Field School experience creates opportunities for hands-on training that encourages critical thinking, exposure to best practices, and develops you in your calling to play a significant part in seeing the salvation and transformation of cities and nations.
The 1Day Field School experience includes 15 hours of hands-on experience including spiritual development time through chapels, small groups, staff mentorship, and teachings. You’ll earn serving hours by journeying local churches and organizations into the 1Day Vision, serving at Serve Centers, coordinating with nonprofits, for-profits, and local and state governments.
Student Life Experience
Here’s a snapshot of a week at 1Day Field School:
Three days a week are dedicated to the program experience, where the first hour of each day will be spiritual development time into you including chapels, small groups, and teachings. There will be 15 hours designated in the program for academics, and 15 hours designated for program and serving.
We understand that school is a priority, and we want to set you up for success in your studies. With 3 regular hours of spiritual development per week, 12 hours of practicum hours, and 15 scheduled hours for school, the rest of your week will be yours to navigate schoolwork, a part-time job, and any other commitments.
As an integral part in the life of the 1Day campaign, you will be invited to each Missions.Me staff meeting as we journey as a team together. Build close-knit, lasting relationships in a unique mentorship setting. You’ll have direct access to personal relationships with key leaders and directors on the Missions.Me team. We also will have regular opportunities for fun activities and hangouts to build lasting community and relationships. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create lasting change in America’s cities.
