Telma
Telma’s top bucket list item is to go sky diving. She is a senior at Crown College studying Communications/Public Relations. She hopes to join the Air Force Reserves in the Special Forces unit.
One of her favorite verses is Joshua 1:9 – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Cole
Cole wants to climb to the peak of Mount Everest someday. He is a senior at the University of St. Thomas studying Exercise Science. He plans to go into osteopathic medicine.
Cole loves Psalm 23:4 which says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Emily
Emily wants to set foot on every continent (except Antarctica – she didn’t say why 😊). She is a sophomore at Bethel University studying biokinetics.
She wants to make sure everyone knows 1 John 4:4 – “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
Rachel
Rachel is looking forward to things opening back up in the nation so she can go on a road to Colorado and head back to church. She is a recent graduate of Bethel University with a degree in International Relations/Exercise Science. She hopes to work for a global non-profit.
Rachel’s favorite verse is, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (1 John 4:4).
Elizabeth
Elizabeth also wants to travel – to places like Finland, Bora Bora, and “basically anywhere.” She also wants to own her own horse and equine therapy barn. She is a sophomore at North Central University in Minneapolis and is studying to become a middle school math teacher.
Her current favorite verse is, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44).
Gina
Gina hopes to one day go sky diving in Hawaii (maybe she and Telma could go together). She will be a junior at Bethel in the fall studying Organizational Communication, Marketing, and Graphic Design.
Gina is working on living out 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 which says, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Some of the interns have been involved with FCA in the past, and others are new to the ministry. They are all excited to see how God will use them this summer. Cole wants kids to learn how to life a life that glorifies God in all they do. Elizabeth hopes the students she works with, “will understand more about their relationship with Jesus and how to keep growing in him and their faith even when life gets tough.”
Emily sums up perfectly what all the interns hope to accomplish this summer: “My main goal is to equip kids with practical steps to grow in their own faith spiritually and find ways to live it out. Through that, I believe that they will not only find the peace that only comes through Jesus, but others will notice and ask questions about it. I hope they also feel equipped to share the Gospel themselves and understand that though we are all imperfect, we are perfectly loved by our savior Jesus Christ.”
We know these six young adults will make a lasting impact on youth this summer, be drawn into a deeper relationship with Christ themselves, and develop a lasting connection with the other interns. Please be praying that their impact this summer would be great.
