Micah Bournes, one of Antioch’s interns from last summer, is heading back up from Long Beach, CA.

I’m really looking forward to having him around for the next year and seeing all the cool things that will come of it!

(Below are Micah and Grace performing a rap Micah wrote from last Summer.)

Just saw these pictures of some of the staff at Antioch showing up in promo shots for the intern sweatshirts (a bunch just came in for the Antioch families who hosted interns) and the Intern Art Book.

What a crew!!

Here are a few of the page spreads from the newly arrived Antioch Intern Art Book some of the interns put together this summer.

One of the reasons I believe in the intern ministry is that I believe in the next generation.  These interns have such a heart for God, such a love for people, such a thirst for adventure and such an amazing set of gifts and talents – I can’t think of a better investment!

Love it!!!

A bunch of the interns went to a local concert the other night and came away with this endorsement for our Summer Intern Program from William Fitzsimmons.

Fun times :)

This is a pretty hilarious clip of Tony and Liz as they’re talking on camera during a photo-shoot for an upcoming Antioch Intern video.

They should team up for a talk show!!

The Antioch Internship is kicking back off!!

This Thursday, Brandon Reynolds, Justin Lavik and Grace Laxson head to So. Cal to visit Biola University, Azusa Pacific University, Cal Baptist, Vanguard and a couple other schools as part of our internship recruiting process.

Next up, Matt Smith and Brandon head to Moody, Wheaton and Trinity in Chicago.

We’re already up to around 10 applicants and haven’t even begun promotion yet!!  If you have a cousin, friend, niece or nephew and want them to be in the intern program, you better have them get their application in soon.  We anticipate having to narrow around 50 applicants down to a summer crew of 20.

We’ve been doing this little affirmation thing at the staff meetings for a couple of weeks with the interns.
It’s been amazing to hear people share thoughts and encouraging stories about one another. The surprising part for me is how much I’ve learned about everyone through the experience.
It really goes to show that there are so many things that we can share that we usually don’t share. Observations, insights and appreciation for others is a continuous part of our day, but rarely do the other people ever get to hear or know about the encouraging things we see.
On the flip side, I firmly believe that we are all affirmation junkies and need a steady dose of encouragement and appreciation. Somehow, we need to build individual and corporate habits so that the things that can be said and ought to be said actually do get said.
We need more affirmation.

I’m pretty amped about the crew of interns who are here for the summer!!
We just had six over for dinner last night, saw the Lakers lose and then watched Gran Turino afterward.
Ton’s of fun!
I keep telling everyone that Bend is the coolest place in the summer, but the 3 inches of hail in 30 minutes yesterday afternoon didn’t help me. The Chicago kids, especially, think that Oregon is just a “rainy place.”
Brandon Reynolds is heading up the intern program and I don’t know how he’s keeping all the balls in the air between the fun stuff and work stuff for all seventeen.
Last Saturday, Kyle Beall helped introduce the interns to Smith Rock and rock climbing. It is the first of a full line up of intern outings — Central Oregon style. Below are some pictures that Katy Fein sent me from the trip!!
