Short Description

Internships are for individuals interested in serving anywhere from 3 months to 1 year at one of our ministry locations. Envision partners with a local initiative in Phuket that aims to see see the marginalized, vulnerable, and exploited set free from the injustice of oppression. On the ground, this work involves implementing our holistic approach outward, trusting God to bring freedom and hope to the people of Phuket, to the rest of Thailand, to Southeast Asia, and back to those living in the West. Interns can expect to grow, learn and serve with humility, particularly if you are a hair stylist or professional baker. We'd love your help and expertise! We want to work with people who want to be affirmed for ministry and or missions, and want to step outside their comfort zone and lead.

Is this you?

We'd love to chat more and give your more details:

Location Profile

Being a tourist town, Phuket has a laid back atmosphere. This is not a megacity; however, beyond the bustle, there is an incredible desire for many visitors to find that “thrill” that can finally satisfy a longing in their lives; be that trying to find that perfect beach to run away from life’s problems to finding meaning and acceptance in the red light district. Phuket truly is a dream location, but the reality for many doesn’t always match up.

The purpose of the work in Phuket is to foster an opportunity for God to be glorified through education, exposure and experience, transformed worldview, and a nurtured heart for missions. The context of Thailand requires empathy, passion, and knowledge, and there is no better way to embody these traits than to join the people who are fighting to break the chains of oppression on a daily basis. We want you to see first hand how God is working in Thailand, and to be encouraged to take the next step in His plans for you.

Tim & Nancy Moore

Regional Coordinators Asia Region

Nancy committed her life to Christ at a summer camp, and when she was 18, she solidified her commitment. Nancy attended Moody Bible Institute with the aim to become a missionary nurse.  Tim grew up in a minister’s home where mission was always the point of life. After a long season of complacent rebellion Tim surrendered his life to Christ, while in university, at 23. Tim and Nancy have been married since 1981. Tim has served as a professor at CBC/CTS/Ambrose, and a Youth Pastor at Glencarin Alliance Church and Unionville Alliance Church. Nancy’s ministry is caring for cancer and acute cardiac patients as a Registered Nurse.

Together their 38 years of ministry service and marriage has been preparing them for this ministry with Envision Canada.

Kurt & Teesha Jones

Thailand site coordinators

Kurt and Teesha (along with their son, Ezekiel) are our new Thailand site coordinators. 

Kurt's journey with Christ began at the age of four. His childhood as a third-culture kid, living in Laos and Thailand, nurtured a heart for the nations. Teesha, after a childhood spent mostly in Alberta, Canada, fully surrendered her life to Christ just before turning 18. Though her early years held challenges, God used those experiences to shape her compassionate heart.

Kurt and Teesha's paths crossed at Ambrose University, where their shared passion for discipleship and leadership ignited, along with their love for each other. They married in 2017, after graduating, and spent the last 12 years honing their skills in various camp ministries. These experiences, coupled with their individual journeys of faith, have uniquely prepared them for their current ministry in Phuket, Thailand.

Before you head off
