During the most recent CFC fall tour conference, I had the privilege of serving as an
Apprentice 2. The Apprentice 2 program is a new step in the ICC leadership ladder.
Being a part of this program really broadens your view of what it means to be an intern.
This year’s team included five other amazing servant leaders, and I had a fabulous
time working with all of them! In addition to the objectives of an Apprentice, this role
allows one to be a role-model and a leader to other apprentices and students. One of the
jobs I had this year, was BPS Point Person. In this job, I was asked to shadow the BPS
coordinator interns helping with anything that was needed.
I learned many different things in this position, but something that really stuck with me
was knowing that God has a reason for everything. I remember it was the first day and
we were supposed to be doing open activities outside. It rained. Not knowing what
to do, we decided to move the students to the third floor in three different rooms. And
you know, it went wonderfully, even if it wasn’t what we had in mind. Being part of
the Apprentice 2 program allowed me to see how much the Lord was a part of that
conference.
I encourage you to consider whether God would have you seek being part of the
Apprentice 2 program. You have to be 15 years or older; serve as an Apprentice a
minimum of two different times; and have a letter of recommendation from your Chapter
Sponsor. I had a blast doing this, even though sometimes it was a little overwhelming
and tiring. I thank God for giving me this opportunity.
Until next time,
Your Community Ambassador,
