2009 | 2010 | 2011
The summer of 2009, I completed my ICS internship with Tlc International in Edge Project in Altea-Alicante, Spain. I lived in a community of artists for two months right on the Mediterranean. Each morning we would engage in spiritual dialogue, exploring how our faith can be lived out practically in a Post Modern world. I took Spanish classes with a local professor and built relationships with the local Spaniards. I also spent time making art for the art gallery and forums every Friday night. The last two weeks I lived with a mother and her daughter that had moved from Ecuador. I learned what life was like for them, became friends with their friends, and did a little salsa dancing on the side!
The summer of 2010, a week after my graduation from BIOLA in May, I returned in a leadership role to Altea-Alicante, Spain through Tlc International’s Edge Project. My responsibility focused on raising up creative spiritual leaders to live beyond the typical American life in a new culture and through community, and to learn what it means to be a follower of Christ. I experienced God in new, deeper ways through the Spanish culture, art, and community.
Currently, I am Tlc International's full-time International Intern and Administrative Assistant to the President. I live an organic lifestyle in Altea, learning the language, building relationships, managing the art gallery, and exploring the depths of Spanish culture. This summer, we are launching Edge Mission, a self-propelled, short-term cultural immersion opportunity designed to give practical hands-on experience of how to live your faith internationally while using your passions to impact Alicante.
