Hello all!
Lats week I was in Atlanta for new intern orientation with 61 other new interns. The week had its overwhelming moments since a large part of the training focused on fundraising. (I'll write a more in-depth post about that part of my internship).
All of the interns are so kind and passionate about the call to serve God. I enjoyed talking with many of them about how they became a part of RUF and why they wanted to do the internship. It was really neat to see how we've all traveled different roads with varied trials and challenges; now, our paths have merged as we've come together with the common purpose of serving college students on our respective campuses.
In the short time I got to spend with the new interns, I felt like these are people I'll be able to call good friends years from now. It's truly incredible to see how members of the Body of Christ can come together from all over the country and instantly "click" because of our shared love for God and the work He's called us to do.
While training was hard it was also encouraging being in the same boat with all these wonderful people. Even though we are all going to different colleges and will have very unique experiences, right now, we share the uncertainty of not knowing how God is going to provide financially for our internship. But we also share the confidence that He will, in fact, provide.
I'm feeling very encouraged and affirmed from spending time with my fellow interns. Here's a photo of most of the group:
