This is my
first year to serve as a Summer Link intern and it has been a wonderful
experience! I am primarily working with the Women’s Ministry and the Student
Ministry at Open Door. The Lord is teaching me so many things this summer as He
is growing, stretching, and molding me as I serve Him.
While
working with the Women’s Ministry I was able to help plan and facilitate the
women’s event for June. This event’s theme was “Smiling at the future.” Women
gathered to fellowship, worship, hear from a speaker, and pray with one
another. As the event approached I became a little anxious and stressed about
all the little details, but the Lord showed me through this event that I need
to always trust Him even in the small things.
Also, I
have had the opportunity to serve with the Women’s Bible study leader and
attend the weekly women’s Bible studies. We have been studying Psalm 119 for
the month of June. I have loved being able to learn from other women at our
church as we study and pray through Scripture together. I have also been able
to meet many new ladies at our church, which has been a blessing. As I have
studied Psalm 119 the Lord is teaching me to always be meditating on His word
and truths found in Scripture.
This summer
I will be apart of the team going to Boston. I am thrilled about the chance to
go and serve our church plants and the people of Boston. We had our first trip
meeting this week. It was encouraging to hear each of our team members share
their burden to proclaim the Gospel message while in Boston. At the meeting we
walked through Colossians 4:2-6, and discussed what it means to “Devote
yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving” (v.
2). I pray that the Lord will allow me
to have a watchful heart and mind, being in prayer for the trip and aware of
the needs of those around me.
Please be
praying for our students and interns this week as they head to Creed Camp!
