As term time drew to a
close, I began to worry about what I would be doing with my summer. My desire
was to work with a church, be mentored by a minister, and get training
as a minister. After asking around a bit within the Free Church, there were
three definite possibilities: Dundee, Dunblane, and Dingwall . However, after identifying the
possibilities, everything seemed to stand still. As classes ended and the
summer began, I thought nothing would come together. I had a few ideas of other
things I could do over the summer, but application deadlines were fast
approaching. I sent out a few last prods to the most promising possibilities.
In mid-May, I decided that if I didn’t hear anything by the end of the week
from the churches, I would stop looking for a summer internship and pursue the
other options.  |

On the Thursday of
that week, I started the day asking for prayer about this at the prayer
breakfast at church. That night, I received an email from Angus MacRae, the
minister at Dingwall Free Church. The church offered me a one-month internship!
I will be spending the month of July working with Rev. MacRae. What an answer
to prayer! My employer has also allowed me to take the month off! (Another
answer to prayer!) God has been faithful and kind! Please pray for this
opportunity. Pray that God would bless both the church in Dingwall and the Free
Church as a denomination in their various ministries. And pray that I would be
useful to God’s work and not seek my own ends.
