About the Job
JOB DETAILS
Job Type: Part-Time Internship
JOB DESCRIPTION
Overview:
Decision Point is a Christian non-profit organization that seeks to equip middle and high school students to lead Christian clubs at their schools. We are training Student Leaders to take the gospel into their public schools by personally witnessing for Christ, leading weekly Bible studies, hosting campus-wide outreaches and following up with all who respond. Students in turn are learning to build their lives on the Rock of Christ and His Word. Ultimately, we are praying God will bring a student-led, church-supported campus awakening to the love of Christ at every public school.
We are also bringing the gospel to the next generation where they are – online and on social media. Students are being bombarded with every evil influence imaginable through their phones. We believe it is vital that we shine the light of Christ in this space as well as on campus as we seek to take every thought captive and proclaim to every student the joy and peace found only in Jesus Christ.
In it all, we partner with pastors who want to see a fresh movement of dynamic youth evangelism in theri church and throughout their region.
Our Mission is to proclaim the Gospel to the next generation…till every student has heard.
