MAKE A DIFFERENCE

AS A TIMBER BAY INTERN

Our interns are not observers from the sidelines

They are shoulder-to-shoulder with other staff; fully engaged in community and camp ministry

During my internship with Timber Bay my perception of ministry was broadened. Ministry doesn’t always look like bible studies. It means showing up to a football game to watch my girl cheer. And sometimes that’s more valuable than mentoring or group time.

2018 intern and Youth & Social Ministry Major

 “It’s important for youth to connect with safe adults because they have a lot of problems they’re dealing with and they don’t seek help. They should be asking for help but don’t want to or don’t understand why they need it, so it’s important to connect with them. My internship taught me to reach out and try to help by truly seeing their struggles.”
