Dear Future Intern,
You are quite possibly in the most important season of your life. The decisions you
make in the next few years will have lasting effects on the direction of your life. REVtv
Internship is a season that will give you the opportunity to grow close to the Lord and
gain vision for the rest of your life. You will be trained in ministry leadership training as
well as media technical training but most importantly you will be given the opportunity
to encounter God in a real way. We encourage you to ask God if REVtv Internship is the
right place for you. At REVtv we do many things but we are about one thing, that’s
“Making Jesus Famous!”

REVtv Interns was developed to facilitate the training concepts of instruction, mentoring

the mortar that holds it all together.

pray with a genuine hunger for God and an authentic passion that goes deeper than
religion. As an Intern, we want you above all else to be intimately acquainted with the
voice of God. Prayer is where that happens.
BIBLE READING:
As with prayer, nothing substitutes daily time in Gods word. We believe the Word of
God is the foundation that we build everything in our lives around. REVtv interns will
become very familiar with knowing their way around Gods word.

TIMING
Three main factors contribute toward determining whether this is the right time for you
to be a REVtv intern.
1. SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY:
Do the spiritual authorities in your life (e.g. pastors, mentors, and parents) all agree that
this is the right training environment for you at this time?
2. PERSONAL:
Are you spiritually prepared to enter into this intensive ministry training program? Have
you been faithfully attending and participating in spiritual disciplines and ministry in a
local church for the past six months?
3. FINANCES:
Are you financially able to enter the program at this time? Working full time is not an
option as an intern. Part-time work is permitted as long as it does not interfere with
your Intern schedule.
FINANCES
Upon submitting your request for the internship a $100 application fee is required. The
tuition for the 2014 REVtv Interns is $2,000. The tuition covers all books, materials,
manuals and conference fees. Upon acceptance into the Intern program, the finance
department will mail an invoice for the required down payment. Interns are required to

Financial Preparedness and Stewardship
Financial preparedness is a key factor in determining whether this is the right time for
you to be a REVtv Intern. We want you to be free from excessive financial debt during
your time as an Intern. Acceptance into the program is contingent upon your ability to
faithfully handle your financial obligations as an Intern. Financial stewardship is a key
factor in maintaining your place as an Intern. Falling behind in monthly installments will
jeopardize your status as an Intern and could result in early dismissal from The REVtv
