The Application:
- Click on the links below to download an information packet and application.
- As you read through the packet, pray and ask God if this program is for you. If you're sensing it is, we encourage you to also discuss the program with your current spiritual covering for prayer, counsel and proper processing of the decision. If you have questions about the program, review our frequently asked questions or send us your questions through the contact us page .
- Mail us your completed application together with a $35.00 non-refundable application fee and a picture of yourself. Mail in ONLY the application.
- Give the each of the three recommendation forms to the people specified in your packet (pastor, employer and personal friend), and ask them to send them to us directly at the address listed on the bottom of the form.
The Phone Interview: Once we've received your application and recommendations, we will set up a phone interview with you, during which you will be asked more questions related to your application and recommendations. This allows us to get to know you better and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you still may have about the program..
The Visit: If after your phone interview, we feel this program will be the right fit for you, we will coordinate a three to four day period for you to spend with the team in Buffalo, NY. Visits are typically scheduled from Thursday through Sunday.
During your visit with us you will get a chance to tour our offices, meet the team, help out with daily office duties, participate in some team activities, and get a feel for "life at Eagles' Wings." We will also ask you to answer a series of questions to help us understand your unique strengths and skills, so we can determine where you would be the best fit in the ministry. Towards the end of your visit, we will spend some time discussing with you your feelings about the program and any next steps we feel are necessary for your acceptance. Most times, we will let you know if you have been accepted into the program before you leave or within days after your visit.
Acceptance: Upon a final decision to accept you into the program, we will begin to discuss with you a starting date and finalize any last-minute details for your arrival.
