The process for my Cross Cultural Internship has finally begun! We had Introductory training yesterday, with an overview of our training coming up in August and also the prep work for that. Word of Life works with an organization that trains missionaries how to raise support biblically. Their program involves reading a book by the founder, an intense Bible study, and practical lessons on how to build a support team.
I am so excited to start learning!! This is probably going to be the craziest two years of my life, but that is not a bad thing. This is not only a great jumpstart into full time missions (which is my ultimate goal) but it is also a wonderful opportunity to work alongside some of the greatest people in ministry, to learn and grow alongside hundreds of other students, missionaries, staff, and visitors who come in contact with Word of Life.
I can't wait to see how the Lord stretches and grows me in the next two years!
I'd like to end with this passage that one of my dear friends, Chelsea, shared with me. This is such a great passage to start this journey, because there are people who are concerned about safety. And it is a legitimate concern. However, we serve an amazing all-powerful God and He can and will protect us!
Acts 18:9-11
Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent,for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
