Orientation Goodness!



Orientation/training for eMi (Engineering Ministries International) started on Jan. 13th-19th in Colorado Springs, CO. There were 20 of us future interns and staff members who attended. All of us have the same passion for Jesus Christ and serving others around us. Oh and we are all some sort of engineer or architect.

The week's schedule was packed full of great teachings about culture training, learning about God's heart for missions and poverty, and great times of getting amped for what is to come in our journeys the next 6 months! I had a great time meeting and hanging out with new friends from all over the US and Canada. Its amazing how fast of a bond can be created when the commonality of Jesus Christ is in our lives!

Ali, Brad, Josh and I are all headed for the Costa Rica office. While the other interns are headed for the India, Uganda, Canada, or Colorado Springs offices. We are all ready to serve the people in third world countries using the skills we have learned in school and to reach out to the communities around us. Its all exciting stuff!!
