“God has been filling me with overwhelming boldness and confidence. I did a short ten-minute sermon at church about Esther and God has been giving me many opportunities to grow in that confidence.”
– Sierra, Scotland intern“Three of us took a big step of faith and agreed to lead worship at church. Over the next two weeks I learned guitar, Hannah learned keyboard, and Sierra learned how to lead a worship set. As we stepped out in faith, God was so faithful and we each experienced in one way or another a supernatural level of growth in our abilities to play and lead worship. When the time came for us to lead worship, everything went smoothly and we knew that God was a huge part of it.”
– Matt, Scotland intern
