sLOVEnija

This summer I have the awesome opportunity to serve as a summer intern in the Eastern European country of Slovenija.  As a summer intern, I will be helping lead evangelistic camps for Eastern European youth.  I will be responsible for teaching conversational English, building relationships with students, following up with those students, and facilitating a variety of training activities related to youth ministry.
I will serve on a team of four to eight interns under the leadership of an experienced JV staff member.  Prior to the start of camps, we will undergo a week of intensive training in Eastern Europe.  At the end of the summer we will debrief with a time of testimonies and reflection.
This is going to be a challenging and rewarding experience.  

Challenges:
This will be the longest missions trip I have been on u p to this point in time.
I have never had to raise this much money before for a trip.

Rewards:
Seeing God's hand work in the lives of the Slovene youth.
Experience a new way of life.
Strengthen my dependence on God.

I am so excited to see how God is going to work this summer.  Please keep me in your prayers.
