The Eagles' Wings 9-Month Internship for Older Adults and Families

Throughout the nine months of the internship, participants have the opportunity to live out Biblical lifestyle values in the midst of a community of authentic, Christ-centered relationships.  The curriculum is as relevant for the older as it is for the younger.  In fact, many of the older adults who have graduated our internship found the mix of generations refreshing and encouraging, and our younger adults in the internship appreciated the wisdom and insight that the older adults brought to the team.

Kids at Eagles’ Wings

While the internship materials are geared toward equipping adults, there are a number of ways that kids are being encouraged in their spiritual walk, including a weekly children's prayer watch and equipping session, where they receive Biblical truth in a fun and interactive way.



This Is Not for Everyone...But It's Definitely for Some

We are not afraid to say that the 9-month internship is a fast-paced, intensive season of consecration. We encourage those older adults who are interested to download an application and read through it carefully. Prayerfully consider all of the realities of this commitment and what it will mean for your family, and consider the counsel of trusted spiritual leaders in your life before making a decision to apply. It is not a light thing to move your family to another location, and we take that very seriously. Once we have received your completed application, we will engage in serious discussion with you about your commitment before approving your application.

Having said all of that, we do have a great track record of families and couples who have prayed through the decision, understood the season in which they were entering into, and graduated the internship feeling it was a very powerful time of accelerated spiritual growth for them.




Internship Core Values

Eagles’ Wings Internship Program consists of three core values.  If you are accepted to the internship program, here is how they will apply practically to your life.

1. Servanthood

“Whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be chief among you, let him be your servant; even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”  (Matthew 20:26-28)

Jesus said that if anyone desires greatness, they first must learn to be servant.  We believe that servanthood is about the hidden motivation behind every decision we make.  Servanthood is not defined by what we do, but who we are. 

At Eagles’ Wings, we teach servanthood in very practical ways. As we carry out each responsibility we're given, the decisions and attitudes with which we carry out our tasks will expose our hearts, allowing us to grow into more mature servants through the accountability of a loving community.

Interns may be assigned to a number of different departments including: Media, Graphic Design, Administration, Event Planning, Web Development, Public Relations, Real Estate, and more.

2. Discipleship

“As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)

When you join the 9-month internship program, you are giving yourself to a season of serious commitment to allow God to shape and mold you into a man or woman of Godly character, integrity, and values.  Part of the way God shapes us is through living and working with other believers who challenge us to be our best.  And sometimes it is the very people that irritate or annoy you the most that God uses to expose areas of weakness in your life and bring about greater levels of freedom and joy.  In the internship program, there are many opportunities to learn how to love one another and receive love from others in the context of healthy, authentic relationships.  Is it easy?  No, but it is very rewarding.  Everything about ministry life, whether it is work or leisure, at home or at a ministry event, is an opportunity to become more like Jesus and learn how to love like Him.

3. Outreach

"And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation." (Mark 16:15)

Throughout the program, each intern has the opportunity to develop and use their own areas of gifting and calling while ministering with Eagles' Wings in services, events, and conferences throughout the U.S.

Interns travel with the Eagles' Wings team to regional conferences in cities such as Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.  Certainly, traveling with families can be cost-prohibitive, so interns also have opportunities to minister with team members at the invitation local churches, often participating in leading worship and sharing briefly at those events.  This serves as both a training ground and an opportunity for them to exercise their unique giftings and talents for the glory of God. 

Distinctives of the Eagles' Wings Internship

• Real Relationships & Community: The internship provides a context for real, intentional, Christ-centered relationships. Sharing life together in this way creates a strong sense of community. Interns are fully a part of this community and share in times of corporate worship and prayer, outside ministry, as well as good fellowship and fun.
• Discipleship Manual: The Internship Manual is the one of the primary discipleship tools used during the nine months. This in-depth workbook includes Biblical study on various aspects of the core values of Servanthood, and Outreach. It also gives an overview of the vision and values of Eagles' Wings, highlighting important components of living as a disciple of Jesus Christ and as a member of the Eagles' Wings team.
• One-on-One Mentoring: Every intern will be paired with a seasoned Eagles' Wings staff member who will mentor them and walk with them through the entire nine-month program. The mentor will meet regularly with the intern to be a sounding board and to offer encouragement by discussing, reflecting, and praying through the topics addressed in the discipleship manual.
• Teaching: There are regular weekly classes where staff members teach on a variety of Biblical topics.  Also, there will be opportunities throughout the internship when Christian, business, and other religious leaders will be invited to share with the interns and the whole Eagles’ Wings team.
• Corporate Devotional Times: Every morning, our team meets together for a time of worship, prayer, and teaching. Each day, a different staff member or intern shares a message from the scriptures. This time serves as an opportunity both to receive fresh spiritual encouragement and to grow in communication and Biblical study skills.  Individuals are also strongly encouraged and challenged to be disciplined in their own personal time of daily devotions.
• House of Prayer: Every intern will participate in one of several weekly prayer watches in the house of prayer located at our Buffalo, NY offices. The internship curriculum is also structured in a way that interns will learn about “harp and bowl” worship and intercession as well as other types of prayer.
