June 2010
We are excited to have two interns with us this summer. Hannah Winters will be here from Indiana and Tessa Skari will be serving in our church for the second summer. These two young ladies will be working primarily with our youth and children’s ministry. They will be a tremendous asset to our staff this summer.
Our church has had a great deal of success with interns over the last several years. These students have served well and our church has done a good job of helping to develop theses students. These students have done a variety of ministries in our church. Not only have they helped with children and youth, but they have been camp sponsors, gone on mission trips, organized local mission projects, have taught Sunday School,and some have preached. There have been around twenty students who have served in our church as interns. Four of these students are involved in full time Christian ministry. Most of the rest are actively involved in a local church, participating in the ministry of the church.
I am thankful for the involvement of our church family in the lives of these students. Our willingness to bring these students on as interns gives them a safe, encouraging environment to develop their skills and gifts in ministry. Not every church is willing to put in the resources and time to invest in students like this. I love talking to some of our former interns and listen to them share about how valuable this experience was to them.
As we welcome Hannah and Tessa this summer, take the time to get to know them. Many of you already know Tessa. Hannah is brand new to Wyoming. Take them to lunch. Have them over to your home for a visit. Pray for them. Encourage them in their ministry. Help make this summer an experience that will have lasting impact on not only their lives, but the lives of those they minister to.
In Him,
Ed
