Internships for
students and ministers
It
now strikes me as astounding that I lived an entire nine months in
Durham without truly seeing or appreciating the city. When I began my
freshman year at Duke, I rarely left campus and knew almost no members
of the community besides other undergraduates. However,
I felt God encouraging me to form a relationship with the Durham
community and allow myself to serve and learn from the city’s
residents. I applied for a summer internship with
PathWays,
a Duke Chapel
program, and was paired me with Child Evangelism Fellowship. I spent
time at
their urban boot camp and with wonderful kids at 5-Day Clubs. It
enabled me to witness firsthand the ways in which God is moving in the
lives of the children of Durham and allowed me to better grasp the
magnitude and tenderness of His love for them. I’m so grateful to have
the opportunity to see and be a part of God’s transformation of this
city.
