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
