The Lord greatly blessed me with an internship with NCP and taught me many great things through the experience. Of those, the biggest lessons include leadership and the value of my personal testimony. Prior to my internship, I was uncomfortable being in leadership positions where I’d be seen as the authority. Adding in my feeling of inadequacy to teaching anyone about the Bible, I knew this internship was going to be a tough challenge. But over the months, He stretched me and healed my understanding of what it meant to be a leader through the example of Jesus and mentors/leaders in NCP. The use of sharing my testimony invited people into a safe space of connection where they can think about and discuss spirituality, vulnerably and honestly. This in turn led to further conversations about the Gospel, Christianity, and the Bible which led to salvation and a relationship with the Father.

What I learned through my apprenticeship with NCP was that “ministry” isn’t reserved for pastors and missionaries but meant to be a rhythm of life. The internship helped equip us with tools and friends to rely on.

Through my apprenticeship with NCP God showed me how He is working in the lives of those around me. The internship gave us practical, fun, Holy Spirit dependent tools to participate and engage in His Great Commission.
