I am about to leave to begin my internship!
Internship is sort of a right of passage at Vanguard College (as well as a requirement) and I am so happy to have chosen such a great organization to go with-- The Denver Rescue Mission! I will be interning as a case worker for the Family and Senior Housing Initiative. It is an intimidating job title, but I know that God is going to teach me so much and grow my heart for His people!
I chose DRM because I wanted to be challenged in a way that I had never been before. I have been on many short-term mission trips, throughout my years, to places overseas mostly. I decided it was time (and more out of my comfort zone) to work with people in my own community--people who society have falsely deemed "the least of these".
I believe in God's restorative justice and His ability to turn lives around and change them for the better. I am so excited to see Him at work throughout my time at the DRM!
Things you can pray for:
for me to have a willing heart,
for me to grow and gain more initiative,
that I would follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit,
for life changing relationships to be built,
for DRM to have a hand in breaking the cycle of poverty,
and most of all--for Christ to be glorified above all else and for people to come to know Him.
Thank you for partnering with me on this journey!
I am super excited for you Abby! It's going to be great!
