The Intern Blog is Back!

The new interns officially arrived on September 12th and immediately jumped into the extreme intensity of a two-week 101 and 102 course marathon.  To accomplish both classes in two weeks took a lot of work and a lot of hours to put into it. Within two weeks we had finished them both. Yet, all of the hard work was totally worth it because we had a new youth convention to lead.  We experienced exponential growth in a very short amount of time.  

Immediately after finishing the 101 and 102 back-to-back, Scott Evelyn, Josh Young, and the Streams Interns ran a youth conference in Boston, MA called “Presence” and it was amazing. We saw youth, who arrived with little to no confidence, discover a new confidence in the Lord. There was very little unity the first night as we administered inner healing, withdrawing shame and guilt from their lives.  In the following days, however, they acted as if the Lord had titled them a team as He filled up their hearts with His unconditional love for each other. They also learned to speak words of knowledge and words of encouragement to one another.  Though it was an intimidating feat to delve into, the youth did an outstanding job overcoming their fears and allowing the Holy Spirit to empower them. Through their tears of pain and healing came a new understanding about their relationships with God and each other.  It was amazing to watch as the Lord literally transformed the lives of these young people.

Since the youth conference the interns have been settling in, getting some rest and preparing for the Haunted Happenings outreach at Salem.  As the Salem outreach grows near, the excitement continues to intensify.  We are believing that the Lord will move on the city of Salem in huge ways!  We would appreciate any of your prayers during this outreach (October 22-31).
