Brookside

I have recently started my internship at Brookside Community Church. This is one of the best opportunities that I have ever been given.

It all started this past May when a fellow student of mine brought his pastor and secretary to Papa Roux(the Cajun restaurant where I am employed). It just so happened that I was clocking out as they came in to eat. So I sat down with them as they ate and they started asking me questions. I began to talk about my dilemma of where I was going to church. I told them I was at this great church that was solid biblically and I was really growing but it was not urban ministry focused and I really needed to be somewhere where I was able to practice and experience what I was learning in the classroom. They invited me to attend Brookside and then I visited the following week and went out to lunch with Pastor Stone and his wife.

 In the following weeks we began to discuss an opportunity for me to be the first intern at Brookside. It was an exciting time for me as I had been offered something that was greater than I had ever imagined. I then continued to attend Brookside on Sunday mornings, meanwhile the details for this internship were being nailed down. I am in the second week of ministry at Brookside and I absolutely love it! I know that God worked out all the crazy details and only HE could make this possible!
