To my dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I can’t believe that May is here! Is doesn’t seem possible that a whole academic year has passed already. I am filled with gratitude for the ways that God has showed up and continues to show up in our midst! I am also extremely grateful for your gracious support and love as I learn and grow at Hope Church.
The real reason for this note is to give an update of what I am doing this summer. First, I will be traveling to Brazil with the seminary. We are required to go on an Intercultural Immersion trip as a part of the MDiv program. Usually middler students go on this trip in January, but because it is rainy season in Brazil during that time, we are going May 15-23. We will be spending time in the city of Manaus and then on a medical boat that travels up and down the Amazon River Valley serving the people that live along it.
Second, I will be moving to Stanton, New Jersey for 10 weeks to do a full-time internship. I do not know much about what I will be doing those 10 weeks, but I am excited for a taste of full time pastoral ministry!
Finally, I will be back in Holland at the end of August and along with tons of stories to share, will be interning at Hope Church for another year. I will look forward to being back with you all then. Know that I hold you in my heart and prayers. And if you find yourself near Stanton, please visit!
Peace to you,
Paige
