General Description:  Fotizo has been a central region for the movement of God and His people throughout history, and we would love for you to come experience and participate in the work He is doing here now. Today, the population of Fotizo is more than 99% Muslim with very few Christians to share the Gospel. On your internship, you will be able to join in the work of building redemptive relationships through creative avenues that share God’s love, truth, and hope with those who have likely never heard the Good News.

Letter from the Site Leader:
  
"Hello from Fotizo! My husband and I have been part of NEXT from its inception: we were two of the very first interns ever sent! It was an experience that deeply impacted my life – so much so that I ended up here in Fotizo!  We absolutely love the culture and people of Fotizo. I’m excited to walk alongside you as you dive into a new culture and discover the glory and image of God in people all around the world. I look forward to seeing you here and walking with you as you embark on this journey with the Lord."
Field Background:  80 million people, 99% Muslim (secular and conservative)
