Jonah

Jonah | Age: 18 | TN

What skills or gifts do you have to offer on this Internship? 

I am great at using my mind to critically think through situations and problem solve them well. I am great with working with people, either kids or adults, i am able to put together fun activities and games for people to do. I have skills in building and electrical work.

How can people be praying for you? 

Just that I can keep my mind open for the Lord to make change in me. That I'm able to deny my flesh and rely on the lord to give me strength and keep me going. You can also be praying that I am able to humble myself and have compassion for those I meet while abroad.

What is your favorite Scripture, and why? 

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” (Psalms 1:1-3) This verse speaks to me, because growing up, something I have struggled with consistently is believing the Word of God. This verse has always helped me to get out of that mindset, and realize that the works of God are true. That if I learn about His works, and I keep God in my thoughts, then "I will be blessed and I will yield the fruit of the Lord.

If you were a superhero what would your power be? 

My superpower would be to have complete and lasting control over gravity.
