Lifebread

So, about this summer. I only give myself permission to enjoy bragging rights because I have my plans made before Christmas break, when a lot of college kids won’t even know next May when it’s really crunch time. The quality of my plans is just a perk.

Well honestly I don’t know what I’ll be doing this summer either, at least not specifically, but I do know that I’ll be interning with Lifebread. Lifebread is a ministry whose mission is to share not only the spiritual, but also the physical bread of life. What our team will actually be doing is going to a community in Togo, Africa and building bread ovens and teaching the people how to use them to provide food for their community. My understanding is that I will be in charge of a nutrition education element that will be incorporated into our time there as well. This is PERFECT for me because it is a form of exactly what I want to do long-term. This is living out exactly what Christ teaches us, to give people access to Him while also meeting their physical needs. We can give people a way to live AND something worth living for!

I don’t know all of the logistics of the internship this summer, but I do know that I’ll be spending a month-ish in Africa and that after that our team will be coming back to the States to plan and execute a fundraising tour. As it was described to me, this is basically a crash course in non-profit PR. And speaking of our team, there are 5 students from around the country and Lifebread’s founder, Dusty Breeding and his wife Cecily as far as I know. I could not be more excited to get to know my team and start this adventure!!!
