“We sure would like to increase our ability
to disciple people.”
“Hey Jim, I’m not sure what I should be doing right now. College is
so expensive, and I don’t even know what I
want to study.”
“Wow, YAA is growing, and there isn’t enough of us to get all of the
work done. We need to multiply ourselves!”
These desires, thoughts, and realities have finally coalesced into a
year-long
internship program for young adults that are seeking guidance and
direction for their future.
God has directed David and Tessa to be a part of our pilot year, and
these first months have been incredible. Shawn Stenlund will soon be
joining us too. We are encouraged that this is going to be an
important program that will be a benefit to the participants and our
camp ministry.
Please pray for these young leaders as they seek God’s leading in
their own lives and for us as we invest in them. For more
information, to support, or to become a part of this program, simply
give us a call at 406-763-4723.
Our Internship Initiative is a response to a real need we have
identified that will assist young adults that are considering how
God is leading them in the years between high school and their
career. With the cost of college education pushing past $20,000 per
year, many young people are hesitant to expend this money on
education without certainty of what field of study they are
interested in.
As an alternative to basic minimum wage jobs with no future
preparation attached, we are offering the Internship Initiative as
an opportunity for young adults to accomplish the following
objectives:
1. Create a strong ethic towards work and service
2. Identify and develop their personal strengths and interests
3. Receive training and experience in many areas of the camp and
retreat work environment
4. Develop personal skills as they carry out varying full-time
duties
5. Grow spiritually from being immersed in a strong Christian
community that is intentionally committed to mentoring relationships
