Intern/Volunteer Application:
Preachin Time Ministries is committed to investing in the lives of young men and
women to better equip them to serve the LORD in the future. To this end, PTM
welcomes a limited number of young people to travel with Evangelist Duane Moore and
PTM during the summer. We refer to this program as our summer intern program, but
the program is open to young people mature enough to handle the rigors of the road and
those with a heart for serving God (not just college students).
Each year the program is unique depending on the opportunities present to Bro. Moore
and the Preachin Time Staff. Generally speaking the interns will be able to participate
in mission service projects, mission trips, youth meetings and the camp experiences.
The interns for 2015 will have the following opportunities:
