God called me away from my own plans and into my FCA internship in November of last year. God was clearly working throughout the internship, orchestrating relationships and events that helped me build countless connections to further the kingdom. My internship taught me the ins and outs of the ministry and what it is like to be a full-time missionary. I am so grateful that God called me to this mission and further revealed the call I have on my life as dedicated to him.

I’ve been a summer intern for two years now and at every camp I go to, God shows up in so many amazing ways than I could ever expect. I’ve got the opportunity to grow as a leader during this internship and have grown as a person too. I love the people I meet and bond with over the summer and the excitement of seeing them again. I love being an intern with FCA because it is truly an experience I would never trade for and will never forget!

The phrase “life-changing” gets thrown around a lot, but I’ve never found it more true than during my internship with FCA. I came in not knowing what to expect, but this summer turned out to be one of the most impactful experiences of my life. I had the privilege of working with an incredible team that quickly became like family. Weekly worship and deep conversations brought a sense of renewal I didn’t realize I needed. Connecting with others through sports was not only fun but deeply meaningful. God taught me lessons I might never have grasped otherwise. I feel incredibly blessed that the Lord opened up this opportunity for me, and I will forever be grateful for the experience.

2023 and 2024

I entered this internship in hopes of helping others and leading them to Christ. I left not only doing this for others but also for myself. I had the opportunity to listen to testimonies of others and be able to learn from them. This gave me encouragement to pursue Christ even more than I was before. This internship allowed me to learn that it’s often possible to get wrapped up in the life around me but in everything I do, there’s an opportunity to serve a greater purpose in Christ. The people I encountered in this internship (staff, volunteers, campers, donors and families) have all made a lasting impact on me. I believe in the mission of FCA and loved this experience so much that I did it for two consecutive years.
