Jeremiah and Donan are excited to welcome 2 interns! These recent college graduates will spend a school year working with students and discerning if college ministry is a place where God might be calling them to invest 3-5 years of their lives. Please pray for them as they transition to living in Moscow and doing campus ministry at WSU. Pray specifically that they find part-time jobs which will provide for their financial needs and providing flexibility to do ministry on campus. Here's a brief intro to each in their own words...

As the school year quickly approaches it’s end, I quickly approach the end of my
college career. After four years at Oregon State University, I am excited to receive my
Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences with a minor in
Spanish! The last four years have been exciting and filled with academics, travel, and a
lot of learning about life and myself. My most important development in college
however, has been my faith in Jesus Christ. In college, I’ve learned what it means to
follow him, trust him and also how good it is to see my friend’s lives changed by God.
Coming to know Jesus has given me purpose and motivated me to want to see change
in the world, especially on college campuses. I am a little nervous but very excited to
continue ministering to college students next year as a Campus Intern for
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Washington State University!
Throughout my four years in college, I have been actively involved with InterVarsity at
OSU. Coming in, I was excited about the people I met, and their passion for life. Some
of these people became my best friends. By the end of my first term in college, I
committed my life to following Christ. After my freshman year, I lead a bible study, and
I joined the worship team. Now, during my senior year, I lead the worship team, and I
am helping two freshman start a new bible study in their dorm. I am so excited at the
opportunity to continue college ministry. I am excited to develop relationships with
students, share Jesus with them through scripture studies and worship, and to see
them follow Jesus with their lives.

As this school year comes to a close, I am reaching yet another transitional point in my life. After four years at The Evergreen State College, I am excited to receive my Bachelor of Arts! It has been a long but fun four years filled with not only the rigors of academics but also the joy of developing as a musician, as well as building and developing friendships and community. Most importantly, though, I have seen my faith in Jesus Christ grow in numerous ways during my time at Evergreen. I have learned to trust him, to invest in his Kingdom, and to become a leader who mentors and raises up future leaders. I am very excited to continue ministering to college students next year as a Campus Intern for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Washington State University!
As a student at Evergreen, I was a part of an InterVarsity group that really blossomed my sophomore year. I had the privilege of seeing God grow the group from one student leader to now a dozen student leaders, with 40 in the fellowship. I led a freshmen dorm Bible study and mentored several underclassmen, and it was amazing to see God working not only in the lives of those whom I mentored but also my life as I obeyed him in investing in younger students. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue leading at WSU next year. With my supervisor Jeremiah and my fellow intern Annie, I will play a part in devolving the chapter at WSU. I am excited to develop relationships with students, share Jesus with them through scripture studies, and to see them eventually follow Jesus with their lives.
I fully expect God to do amazing things in the lives of the WSU students next year, and I am so honored to be a part of his work. I am also excited to invite you to be part of this work as well.
