\"Me<\/a>
Me with my roommates, Vicki and Betsy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am currently in my second to last semester at Moody Bible Institute. Before I can graduate I have to do an internship for six to eight weeks, doing some kind of children’s ministry (which is what I am getting a degree in). This internship is a time where I get to practice everything that I have learned while being in school and gain experience in doing children’s ministry. For my internship I will be going to Brazil and working in a Brazilian national church, called Igreja Boas Novas, doing children’s ministry. The exciting part is that I get to go to the town where I lived while my parents worked at the boarding school for missionary kids and the church that I will be helping out is the church that I went to while I lived there. Some of my responsibilities will include: helping sort and organize curriculum, teaching children Sunday school, helping with a VBS program, helping teachers know where kids are at developmentally and how to best teach them Biblical truth based off of that. This church is involved in doing a kids club for children in the poor section of the town. While I\u00a0went to high school\u00a0I helped out with this ministry and I am so excited about going back and helping out with it again. The children that come to this kids club once a week are mostly kids that don’t have people who care about them in their lives. It is a great opportunity to show these kids that God loves them and cares about them. I will be going to Brazil the end of May through the middle of July.<\/p>\n

\"haiti\"<\/a>An urgent prayer request is that I would have the finances<\/strong> to pay for this past semester at school<\/strong> and since I won’t be able to work during the summer that I would have the money to come back and finish my last semester here at Moody. Concerning my internship<\/strong> you can pray for me to be able to find cheep airplane tickets<\/strong>, be able to communicate<\/strong> well with those I will be working with, for a quick adjustment<\/strong> back to the culture and language I grew up in, finances<\/strong> to be able to do this internship, that I would be open<\/strong> to what God wants to teach me through this experience, and that as I have an opportunity to impact children’s lives<\/strong> that I would\u00a0clearly display God’s love for them<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you in advance for your prayers!<\/span><\/p>\n
