NAME Hands On is an opportunity for college students to spend a semester or a year engaging the peoples of North Africa and the Middle East with the gospel. Students are well-trained and work alongside a NAME field team, diving into front-line mission work and being mentored along the way.
It is for students who have completed at least one year of college and want to serve overseas for one or two semesters. Hands On is a great opportunity for students interested in exploring future international service, and it serves as a great gap year experience.
