Empty Nest

Matt said last week after Paul, our intern, left, "I think I'm suffering from Empty Nest Syndrome." Today we spent time in staff meeting evaluating how our first internship went. Paul stayed with us for the summer as he was tasked in many different directions in our baby church. Paul's Mom is American and his Dad is Brazilian so it was wonderful having a truly bilingual worker with us for a little while. Paul's goal was to get a glimpse of what a mission team at this stage looks like. He did a little of everything from preaching to youth lock-in to children's time in worship to small groups to one-on-one Bible studies to evangelistic movie nights and even helped advertise for our LST campaign before they came. Paul was truly a blessing to have and we hope he comes back.

I can totally see how that would feel like an empty nest. I hope you find someone new soon! Glad it went well.
