As we look back over all that
happened in 2014, we can't help but thank the Lord for the new interns we have
had. Nicole Pannasch was the first of
these interns and she has been with us for just over a year. During that time
we have been blessed by her joyful
spirit, her willingness to serve, and her obvious love for God even at a young
age. Commenting on her time here, Nicole said, "Serving at Street LIFE has been
life-changing. The Lord has drawn me closer to Himself during this time
and has shown me much more of His heart for the nations, the lost, and His
beloved Bride. I have been continually amazed by His faithfulness
evidenced during our times on the streets, in ministry here at Street LIFE, and
in my own relationship with Him. I am very thankful for all that He has
taught me during my time here thus far, and I am excited to continue the
journey." It is such a pleasure to have Nicole as part of our community
and we look forward to seeing how the Lord will continue to flourish her.
We
also had a young woman named Jennifer-Beth join us for a three-month internship
this past summer. She loved working with
us and her compassionate heart enabled her to connect easily with the people on
the streets. Originally from Virginia, Jennifer-Beth has spent much time in
recent years serving overseas with medical missions in Asia. Though she still
feels a special connection with the people there, she believes that the Lord is
calling her back to Street LIFE Ministries in 2015 to receive more training and
discipleship. We are excited to have her back and appreciate her vivacious southern
flair. In 2015 a young man named Drew
Gosnell from South Carolina will be joining us as an intern and he intends to
serve with us long term. Drew joined us for a week-long outreach this summer so
he could get more familiar with the work we do, and he really enjoyed it. Drew's
maturity is evident and he carries the peaceful presence of God within him. He
will also be a valuable addition to our team.
We
thank God for each of these new interns. The Lord has heard our prayers to send
us more laborers in New York City; the harvest is plentiful, but the workers
are few! We encourage you to consider joining us for an internship and pass
this information to anyone you may know who wants to get involved in missions.
