Camp Crew Counselor
May - August 2019 • Schroon, NY
What I liked
I really liked my time counselling 9 high school boys during a 9 week span while serving the Lord in boating transportation at Word of Life Island.
What I wish was different
I wish more people would come and volunteer or raise support to help out at Word of Life camps, it is harder on everyone when there is a smaller number in help at a camp.
Advice
Go in with an open mind, meaning don't set high expectations when you plan on serving the Lord, because from personal experience, just take each day 1 day at a time and trust God upon that time.

Evangelism Intern
June - August 2019 • Pottersville, NY
What I liked
I learned how to share the Gospel effectively with people in many different locations! We traveled to New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other places.
What I wish was different
I wish that it would have lasted longer. Also, I wish that I would have had more alone time with the Lord, as I began to burnout toward the end.
Advice
Sharing the Gospel should be an everyday thing for believers. While sharing about Jesus from day-to-day will look different each time, we can take advantage of the opportunities that the Lord has given us to share wherever we go.

Cross Cultural Intern
April 2018 - December 2019 • Managua, Managua Department
What I liked
The cross-cultural experience is invaluable. Being a member of a Nicaraguan team changed my perspective, my attitude, and my life.
What I wish was different
The communication at times was hard to navigate but was doubly difficult because of the language and cultural differences.
Advice
Before any sort of mission work, you need to know that it is what God called you to. If God is your guide, anything is possible.

Camp Counselor
June - August 2019 • Pottersville, NY

I loved pouring into young girl’s lives and being a crazy, cool, counselor!
What I wish was different
More free time on weekends. By the end of the summer the whole staff was so tired it was hard to work effectively.
Advice
Do you’re quiet time daily! You cannot succeed while doing this job without God’s help.
