Oslo, Norway

Must be able to walk and be on your feet 8 hours a day
You will be working with a church called Home Church in the capital city of Oslo, Norway. Most of your time will be spent hanging out in a highly immigrant neighborhood that is going through gentrification at the moment and is in a season of transition. Our church has an electric coffee bike that we use to go to different places in the neighborhood and serve espresso drinks, filtered coffee and even waffles. Our intent is to have conversations around the coffee bike that lead to follow up spiritual conversations and then in turn to Bible discussion groups. The end goal would be to have Bible discussion groups that lead to either discipleship or Alpha groups that would start new groups within the context of the local church. You will be building on the work of a Send Me Now team last summer.
- On the outside, Norway looks very similar to the US. Dress, food and drinks will be almost identical. Norwegians generally like Americans but sometimes find us shallow. Listening more and speaking less is a good rule of thumb. The conversation pace is slower, so feel free to ask clarifying questions if you don’t understand.
- You will be most likely be staying in a small Airbnb type apartment with a kitchen and small living space close to our IMB workers. You will be able to cook and hang out at home as well as host people you might meet.
