Testimonials

Hollie

I have learned how to form and lead an effective kids ministry team and developed essential communication skills necessary for team management.  Since undertaking the internship I have understood God’s call on my life with greater clarity.  I have grown in my understanding of the Bible and what it means to make disciples

Caitlyn

I never saw myself as a leader but God has given me opportunities to lead others through college and has caused me to see that He can use me in this area.  God has been bringing out of me leadership abilities that I can use in both church life and work.

Maddie

Serving in church this year has blessed me beyond my expectations.  Seeing the way the little things we have done as a team has helped contribute to seeing more teenagers find the love of God for the first time has given me a greater sense of purpose in knowing I can contribute to the kingdom of God.  I would highly recommend the internship program to anyone who is looking for direction or clarity in their life.  Learning from leaders who continually speak life into you is a great opportunity to set yourself up for your future relationships, career and ministry.

Grant

One of the things I have learned this year has been about carrying weight in leadership. I have also been excited in seeing others grow through personal discipleship.

Nathan

I have been a Christian for many years but I felt God opened the door to college so that I could get to know more the most important truths that I have based my life on and to be a better witness for Him.

Emily

I did college this year because I wanted to grow closer to God.  I have grown in my time management, organisational skills and my ability to study the Bible.

The Best Year Of Your Life!
