Testimonies from the GM.C Summer Internship! God did so much in the hearts of these four young people over two months of exploring with Him and discovering what He is doing in Fresno and Clovis, CA. The video linked below only scratches the surface of the lessons our interns are taking with them as they continue to follow Jesus and learn more about what it means to partner with His Kingdom's work. We hope these interns’ words encourage and remind you that the same invitation they received to join God's mission in their local area is the same invitation God extends to you. You also have an opportunity to engage with the mission of God, where you are, with what you have, for His ultimate glory!
Time flies when you're having fun! I can't believe that we only have two more days with our wonderful interns! These past couple of months have been so full of adventure together as a team and individually. It has been such a joy to watch the way God has been unfolding giftings, callings, and next steps for each intern. I know He is watering the seeds that He planted long before the internship. I feel so privileged to have gotten to spend this time walking alongside the four young people and getting to see how God is encouraging them to take hold of their gifts to use in the building of the Kingdom! In our last couple of days together, we will be taking in a harvest, talking about all that God has been doing, reflecting on what we've learned, and blessing one another. Then we will practice sharing about what God has been doing or ... Engaging the people of God, with the mission of God, for the glory of God! Please partner with us in prayer for: Many opportunities to share the "harvest" of all that God has done in the internship with people! A solidifying of the things God has taught us, in our hearts and minds! Joy and excitement for the next steps and next assignments God has for each of the interns! Thank you for partnering with us in prayer. I look forward to sharing more specific testimonies from the interns very soon!
First day of the GoMission.Church Internship was a blast! God is continuing to raise our expectations for what He will do this summer. We began our time together with some creative worship, focusing our eyes on Jesus through play! We talked about the importance of being childlike in our faith and how this summer is an invitation to explore with God. He is leading us, we are just along for the ride! Then we spent some time getting to know one another. After lunch, we all took some time to intentionally ask the Lord to reveal the areas that He wants to challenge and grow us in this season, as well as give Him our hopes for what he will do in His Church! We ended the day with our first pastor meeting at Grace Place! Pastor Brian told us the story of their church and his dreams for it in the future. It was so encouraging to hear his heart and passion for the Kingdom. Please join us in prayer that God would reveal more of His plan and purpose for our interns in missions and the local church!
