We began our orientation the first week with grounding prayer work for each intern to prepare their hearts for the projects. We also gathered 12+ guests, previous mentors and volunteers, to join our call, including those who have worked for Pioneers, SIM, Coda, and DreamWorks.
Please pray for each of the interns as we dive deeper into spiritual formation, global missions learning, and active collaboration with our skills sets.

Returning from Thailand and starting our internship program has only been the start to a busy summer. We’re praying to remember to slow down intentionally for rest and strength that comes from God, attributing all the good we do to Him:
“Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.” – Psalm 116: 7
