How the Internship helped me become a leader

  Written by Rashidi Hines Hey everyone, it’s Rashidi Hines from Team 13 and during my time as an intern, I struggle with not seeing myself as a leader. Then I had to remember that God does not make any mistakes in putting people in that position. I had to realize this from my first two camp rotations at Camp Grace and Ta-Pa-Win-Go. When I was partnered up with one of my teammates who struggle with staying focus being task-oriented during the times where you need to relax and where I helped uplifted them with compliments to get them through the day.

How the Internship equipped me to accomplish the Great Commission

Written by Zachary Douthit My name is Zachary Douthit. I am from Orange County, Virginia. It was some time ago when I was reading through the book of Matthew and stumbled upon the Great Commission "And Jesus spoke to them, saying "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

How the Internship equipped me to better serve others

Written by Caitlyn Windham Dear Future Intern, Hello. It’s me again. Caitlyn Windham, an intern from Team 13. It’s been six months since the last time I wrote to y’all. A lot has happened for y’all, I’m sure. I only have three months left of my Internship and I’m excited to see where God will take me next.  I’m thankful for everything God has taught me since we last spoke. Before the Internship, I knew how to do most things, like how to clean, serve meals, or how to look after kids. I thought that was all that I needed to know, and others could do the rest.

Who does Christ say I am?

Written by Kaytie Davis Growing up I’ve always studied who God was. From all His attributes to what He did on earth. My foundation is strong! Nothing could stop me because my God is on my side! But, something was wrong. I didn’t know who I was, I was struggling with not knowing my identity.

I would make mistakes big or small and I was broken. I thought over and ...
