Every summer, we hire a team of college-aged interns to help make all our summer programs happen. Each year this team just gets better and better, so it’s no surprise that this was the best team of interns yet! Here is what they have to say about the memories and impact they are carrying away from this summer:
“One of my favorite memories when it comes to my time at House of Faith is being at 712 overnight camp. My group of girls were very shy and reserved at the beginning of camp but as camp went on they all started to grow out of their shells. One night at worship the presence of God was so powerful, and I watched some of my girls fall at the altar and just let their hearts cry out to Him and that was just such a beautiful moment.” —Lily
“This summer was a blast! I loved working with all four of the other interns as we planned, organized, and carried out our programs! I grew a lot in finding joy in God’s word, and trusting in God’s strength, plan, and timing above my own! Very grateful for this internship!”—Jordan
“Something I can take away from this summer is, the Lord can use you and reach you at any age. Looking over during worship, to see my 4th-5th graders worshiping with their eyes closed and hands up was truly so beautiful. The Lord sees them and hears them always, I could only imagine what Heaven sounds like. It’s taught me that worship is so valuable and Jesus hears our cries out to Him.” —Addi
“This summer was very impactful with my walk with Christ. Being able to minister to the youth and seeing heart changes was such a blessing! I learned a lot about myself and doing all this alongside some pretty cool people made it 10x better!” —Josh
“This summer, I’ve grown in confidence not only in my role but also in who I am, learning to trust my instincts and abilities. Most importantly, I have learned to lean on the Lord for guidance and strength in every challenge.” —Dezi
A huge thank you goes to these 5 incredible young men and women for all you did this summer!
Every summer a group of high school students come alongside House of Faith for an unpaid “junior internship.” These students give a LOT of time and energy to helping with summer programs, as well as being discipled by our staff and interns in their own walk with the Lord. We had a fantastic, and large, team this year! They worked hard and had a great time doing it. Some of them shared with us the ways they grew and the memories they are treasuring from this summer:
“Something that I learned was that the Lord gifted me to be me. Like sometimes I get lost in comparing myself to others, beating myself up and forget that I’m supposed to be me. Something that I’m taking is that He gives us the freedom to surrender. My favorite memory was singing silent disco at camp with everyone, it was so much fun since I didn’t do it last year!” –Shyann
“This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to step into a leadership role, and I’ve experienced significant personal and spiritual growth. It challenged me to step out of my comfort zone—especially in moments like preaching in front of my group—which helped strengthen my faith. This experience has also inspired me to serve the Lord more wholeheartedly and dive deeper into His Word.” –Briley
