Q & A with ACTION Worker Adam Hussey

What are some ministry tasks that you want the intern to accomplish while serving?

To create at least one video highlighting the local ministry where you will serve. You will collaborate with the local ACTION missionary to conceptualize and storyboard the video to find out exactly what video the missionary needs. You will then script, plan, shoot, and edit the video. Also, if possible, you will create a picture library of the ministry before the end of your ministry service. These pictures will be used for the representation of ACTION through mobilization, brochures, social media, and the ACTION webpage. 

What would a typical day look like?

You will spend time getting to know the local ACTION missionaries and those they serve; familiarizing yourself with the ministry so you can begin conceptualizing the video you will shoot; and meeting with the ACTION missionaries to discuss the video project and planning the interviews and b-roll. 

Please list specific skills an intern needs in order to be effective.  

Interns must have basic skills and competency in videography and/or photography. Must know how to communicate and work well with others in planning a video project. Must possess skills in storyboarding, scripting, and editing. Interns also generally need to bring their own gear, such as a camera (whether it’s a DSLR or video camera), tripod, and a laptop. 

What are some key lessons that you want the interns to learn as they consider their own individual call to missions or vocational ministry?

During your time of service, you will gain a better understanding of missions and what it's like to serve overseas. While on the field, you also may have opportunities to take part in sharing the Gospel and being involved in building God’s kingdom. Serving overseas through this internship will help enhance your work and ministry in your home context as well.
