A New Adventure

I guess it's time for a little more thorough update for those of you that I haven't talked to in a while! :)

This summer I am working with the International Sports Federation as the Mobilization Intern. ISF is a faith-based non-profit organization that seeks to change the world through sports. Since their establishment in 1993, they have mobilized more than 8,500 volunteers that have served in more than 120 countries around the world. What I love about this organization is that their focus is on building relationships with the people they come in contact with and following wherever the Holy Spirit leads.

My job is pretty much to assist with whatever is needed. Most of what is to be done this summer centers around training camps that will be conducted for the teams before they leave on mission. ISF is sending four teams to four different countries this June and July. Before leaving, each team will come to Georgia for training camp. This is a time meant to help with the transition from "normal life" to the foreign mission field, team building, and growing in their individual relationships with God.

It's a little different here -- there are lots of trees and stuff. ;) But it's a fun new adventure! I am already blessed by the people I am working with and surrounded by. This internship originally (from my human point of view) came to be because I needed it for credit towards my degree, but I'm excited for what all The Lord has planned! I'm sure it's much more than I can see or was expecting!
