Our Excel mentorships can be delivered online and are called streams (which provides you with the basic tools for managing your world), or they can be delivered through our residential internships (which provide a broader intensive framework for those who are able to invest anything from 3months to 12months either part-time or full time). Below is some practical information which we hope will help you decide what is suitable for you.
Our Excel residential internships are uniquely designed to give a broader & more diverse face2face learning experience for those who have the means to take more time to fully immerse themselves into our internships. Unlike the online Excel streams, the residential internships provides the following for our interns:
If you are able to invest into a full-time internship, then we will help you find affordable accommodation locally so that you can invest more time into your internship. You would need to demonstrate that you can support yourself (Some interns do choose to get a part-time job locally as a means to fund themselves).
We are a faith-based organisation (meaning we depend on God to provide for our work through the generous donations of ordinary people who believe in what we are doing). So, we don’t charge you for what you receive (in terms of content) from us. But we do expect you to budget for your accommodation, food and some other living expenses.
We will help you find accommodation locally (estimated to cost between £350 – £675 pcm plus up to £150 pcm for food & toiletries).
Please Note: For those on the level 3 Excel internship, please note that you will be required to go on an overseas travel with our staff. As a result, we recommend that you budget for an additional £1,500 for a standard overseas trip (to cover all expenses including accommodation for a minimum of 1month).
Occasionally, our partners provide donations for sponsorships for our internship. Where these funds are available, we will only offer to those who have completed the application process.
Have you ever felt trapped in your world? Or perhaps, you know what you want but you don’t know how to develop the healthy lifestyle to enable you to attain your dreams? If that’s you, well the Excel residential internship may just be what you need. Starting with our increasingly popular online workshop (called Managing Your World or MYW) we can help you to discover (or rediscover) the blind spots in your “rear view mirror” or the early warning signs of a breakdown. Excel is tailor-made for your own personal development- with the opportunity to learn and develop practical and social skills and as well providing you with the framework to help you discover a faith-based new world of fulfilment. It is also a useful tool for those struggling to maintain an effectively balanced lifestyle whilst juggling the responsibilities of life.
The internship runs for a minimum of three months. Within that time you will attend a weekly teaching delving into ground-level to more complex life-skills based teaching, have an opportunity to learn a new/develop a current talent and will be assigned a mentor who will meet with you each week to help you process and gain momentum in the areas needing time and attention in your “world”.
Excel Level 2 is a residential internship focused on community leadership. It is tailor-made for those wanting to not only manage their own world but for those wanting to help others to do the same, sustaining a healthy world whilst leading others.
The internship runs for a minumum of six months. Within this time, in addition to the teaching that’s taught at Excel Level 1, you will attend a weekly teaching delving into a range of different topics regarding all things leadership, including: different leadership styles and how to lead a person to a place of victory or reach a place of effectiveness in a skill. You will have the opportunity to lead and establish a community project and will be assigned a mentor who will meet with you each week, helping you to develop your leadership profile.
This is a full-on residential internship lasting 12months. It is designed for those who desire to be involved in group or global development (be it in their own nations or internationally). It teaches the first level of global leadership i.e. how to gather and stir a group of people into champions of transformation as well as teaches how to lead cross-culturally, cross-generationally and cross-functionally. During this internship, you will be required to be part of international travels and learn how to navigate through life challenges outside of your comfort zone.
If you’re interested or have any questions regarding any of the internships mentioned above, please fill out the interest form found on this page. And one of our team will get back to you.
The internship for the Joshua Transit is designed for emerging leaders, or established leaders who are preparing for new responsibilities or feel called to the nations as missionaries. It is delivered in three levels:
This is for emerging leaders who are coming into new positions of responsibility within a faith based structure such as a church or mission organisation. This internship is delivered in partnership with the head of the organisation with whom you serve or are aspiring to serve.
This is designed for leaders who have previous experience in leadership but are being prepared for a new role that is different from what they are used to. As an organisation we provide tools and resources to help an established leader learn to develop a new structure through pioneering, innovation, and mediation.
This is designed for those who feel called to the nations, primarily as missionaries or humanitarian workers serving the poor in the developing world. This internship is traditionally known as the MCI Initiative. This internship is delivered in association with BTBAB. The MCI is delivered in three levels:
Centred around Churches or Organizations going through transition or “di-vision”. The initiative explores the 4 stages of transition and how to adjust, embrace and allow each to shape a church or an organisation. As an organisation, we have had the privilege of serving over 15 denominations over the past decade. Our work has involved support rural churches in England where there has been no minister or simply running workshops to help create room for a generation of young leaders to a church or organisation. Tapping into such experience, WFTR can commit up to 18months to supporting churches or organisations.
Centred around couples transitioning into marriage or newly married for less than 5 years. There are quite important preconditions prior to being considered for this stream (for more information, please register your interest).
If you are a couple interested in this Transit we require you to provide us with as much information as possible in the message field, including both your names & what stage your relationship is at. We would also be grateful to know which country you are from.
Our couples-in-transit run anything from 6 weeks to 3 months. Because of our need to give all the support that a couple need, this particular part of our transit work is almost always in-person. From time to time, we may organise special online sessions for couples every fortnight over a period of of 6-8 weeks but we tend to do this only with those who have either had prior in-person interactions with our staff and/or have previously attended our Managing Your World (MYW) online initiative. So whatever your interest, please let us know as much as you are able to when you complete the interest form.
We usually receive intakes for residential internships to start in April and September of each year. However, we process application all year long.
If you would like to do an internship with us, please simply register your interest using the form and we will contact you regarding an application. Once you have completed your application you should hear from us within 5 working days.
As a general principle, we would recommend that you allow up to 2 months in order to process your interest or application.
