I am a Pastoral Intern on Staff with The Mission Chattanooga where I am working as the Director of Campus Ministries... I partner with College Young Life as a Volunteer Leader. Neither position is a paid position. The Internship is building off of a mentoring relationship where I am learning how to be a Pastor. Young Life is a place for me to learn some practical discipleship and evangelism. I am a “Tent Maker” so I am working as a Server in a Restaurant to support myself and through donations from various people. The more donations, the more free time, the more ministry. It’s been awesome, difficult and confusing all at the same time. The Mission Chattanooga is a Church plant that started about last January so it’s pretty new, exciting, and fresh! I’ve only been here for about a month and two weeks so right now I am just trying to adjust to the culture shock and just be a fly on the wall. I am just getting involved in different things and trying to learn as much as possible so that I can discern a need and then try and meet it. I have a lot to learn man. I’m being pulled and stretched and it’s been really really good, hard but good.

The Journey
"When I go to Spain . . I hope to . .to have you assist me on my journey there."
-- Romans 15:24
30 I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there, 32so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. 33The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
--Romans 15:30-33
4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. 9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
--Romans 12:4-15
"May the spirit of God saturate your very being!"
