I am very thankful for what God has done through me during my internship. Although it has been a very trying road, I have grown more during my internship than I have my entire three years of Bible school. This has been such a time of refining for me. It has been such a time of having a servant’s heart, submitting to authority, learning, growing, believing God, trusting in the word, and a time of teaching. This has been a time of preparation for later ministry. It has been such an honor and privilege to serve under each pastor and department that I have; from outreach with Pastor Daniel and Pastor John, the youth department with Pastors Allen and Kristin, and now ending my internship managing Studio C in productions under Mr. Chris Williams. From each different department I have taken away different things and grown in different areas. It is also very stretching to work with so many different people because it forces you to learn how to relate to different authority figures. Some pastors that I was under gave me so much responsibility and trusted me to get the job done and others like to micro manage which also is okay. I definitely learned that in ministry you need to be able to work with all different types of people and leaders and you can always continually learn. Even if you know or have worked in your area for many years, there is always room for improvement somewhere and you should always remain teachable with a humble spirit.
