The Spiritual Space Elevator Internship

Now consider ordinations and spiritual commissionings. Instead of strapping people to rockets one at a time and sending them with great expense into their ministry callings, what if a spiritual space elevator was constructed—an arm of the church specifically designed to train, prepare and send pastors to plant churches and missionaries to claim new frontiers for the Kingdom of God?
New thinking. . .new possibilities.
The construction of the spiritual space elevator has taken time and has required new ways of thinking, new structures and significant resources. Why spend time and money building a spiritual space elevator when those resources could be used for more a few more rocket launches? Because, once it is built, once the infrastructure is in place, incredible new possibilities emerge. Instead of commissioning one pastor or missionary at a time, perhaps 20-30 will be sent out on a given Sunday.
Who is able to enter into the spiritual space elevator?
Any person who believes the Lord Jesus is calling them into full-time, career ministry as a pastor or a cross-cultural worker. The spiritual space elevator has doors everywhere in the world--in many nations. People can enter and exit the elevator in most any country in the world.
Where does the elevator go?
Once a person is trained and prepared for their ministry call, the doors can open anywhere around the world, and in a wide variety of contexts.
Who is in the elevator along with you?
The internship demographics are often quite diverse (multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-national, men, women, first career/2nd career ministers), but everyone in the elevator has the same mind and purpose: all are called to serve as pastors and/or missionaries, equip the saints, advance the Kingdom of God, and bring glory to the Name of Jesus.
What happens while you are in the elevator?
Learning, growing, challenge, encouragement, discovery, equipping, preparation. . .transformation
The strange name for our pastoral internship is based on the idea of a major paradigm shift--a new way of thinking. When the Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off for the first time on April 12, 1981, the dream of a reusable spacecraft was realized. Since then, NASA has launched more than 100 missions and the methodology has changed little: one launch at a time and costly (approximately $10,000 per pound). Is there another way? Enter the idea of the space elevator. Imagine a flexible but incredibly strong tube stretching to a small counterweight approximately 62,000 miles into space. Multiple mechanical lifters climb the ribbon, carrying cargo and humans into space: multiple ventures simultaneously and more efficient (only about $100 to $400 per pound).
