Rocking Internship at Hampton Roads
      Posted on January 22nd, 2012 by David Simmons

My name is Jessie Harris, one of the interns in the Norfolk region of Hampton Roads, and I would like to share about my experience thus far in the singles internship. The internship has been so impactful to my walk just by instilling courage and hope in me for the singles ministry. It all started with the kickoff on Friday night in which the order of events for the remainder of the month was discussed and the goals that each facilitator of the internship had for the singles ministry. The discussion of the goals was by far one of the most encouraging portions of the night. The next day the interns began the morning with split lessons in which some of the most pressing issues were discussed. The message was spoken through Deb Anthon who broke down for us how to have confidence in our bible studies. Ironically enough the only way that we can have confidence in our bible studies is if we have confidence in God. Deb Anthon spurred us on by reminding us who have been disciples for many years, and informing those who have just come to the faith, that it’s not about the eloquence of our words or the order of the studies that make disciples, but it’s about our faith in God and knowing that His word never comes back empty. With all this in mind, us interns were now fired up to go and share our faith and that is exactly what we did at the peninsula town center where we met many different people, marrieds, teens, campus and singles one of which decided that he wanted to come to church and study the bible! Yep, so far it has all been so wonderful and I cannot wait to see what God does next week! Lessons can be found on our church website: www.hamptonroadschurch.org

Encouraged & Request for Prayer in Hampton Roads, VA
      Posted on January 13th, 2012 by David Simmons

Hi, my name is Raphael Battle, I am one of the singles from the Hampton Roads Church. I am excited to share good news with everyone about the Singles Internship that kicks off today. There are 29 of us, spread across four regions. We applied last month with the hopes of being apart of mission to grow our ministry and reach many singles in our area that need to hear the Gospels in 2012. But not only for that reason, but to also grow in our characters and to also to be raised up in leadership. The ”One Body” Internship will be a span of three weeks and will consist of: Training and D-Groups every Saturday, Bible Talk in a different region every Monday, and Prayer for the Internship every Wednesday following Mid-Week. We are excited and hope this internship will be a launching platform and will set a pace for our ministry this year to grow in our unity in being ”One Body” and maturing in our spiritual walk and love towards one another. Pray for us to learn so much these next three weeks and to grow in ways that will be lasting to our Faith. Thanks.

Updates & Bug Fixes
      Posted on November 11th, 2011 by David Simmons

Hello everyone – while it may seem that the site has been dormant; we’ve had a ‘perfect storm’ of issues:

  • The place where the site is hosted was changed (and when moving sites – little bugs can creep in)
  • The ‘Submit Story’ and ‘Feedback’ forms were broken
  • I wasn’t receiving stories / updates; so there was nothing to post
  • Repeat again and again
Either way, I believe that the bugs are fixed and new stories are coming (and please submit more! – Certainly God is doing great things in your ministry that are worthy of sharing?)
Thanks for your patience!
