Are you into history, archaeology, or just think bones are cool? Do you want to study a foreign language for a semester? Our archaeology bone lab is looking for enthusiastic young adults to help with the hands-on (and sometimes dusty) work of cleaning, sorting, and organizing real skeletal remains. You’ll also be using tools like toothbrushes to carefully clean bones, entering detailed data into our system, and helping catalog and prep specimens for research. It’s repetitive, meticulous work—but incredibly rewarding if you love detail and want behind-the-scenes experience in archaeology. Perfect for anyone interested in anthropology, dentistry, anatomy, forensics, or museum work. Not for the squeamish—but if you’ve got focus, curiosity, and a steady hand, we’d love to have you join us. You will also spend a semester studying language and building relationships with students at a local university.
Residency – An opportunity to serve on mission for one or two semesters while being mentored by an IMB field missionary. Residents are trained together with their cohort at orientation before deploying to their place of service. Residents then return all together for debrief at the end of their term. Application deadlines: Fall Residency trips: deadline to apply is May 1. Spring Residency trips: deadline to apply is October 1. For active members of Southern Baptist churches, travel to/from Orientation/Debrief, lodging and food during orientation/debrief, travel to/from the field, and emergency insurance is covered. All monies raised or donated in excess of the stated cost of this particular Residency trip will be used to offset travel-related costs and may also be used to supplement the broader cost of ministry related to the Residency program, in general.
