Intern Trek 2011

Ben and I will work together for the first time this summer. That seems like good practice for the future! Back in November we were both invited to staff the 2011 Intern Trek.

What is the Intern Trek? Well, I am so glad you asked!

The Intern Trek is a training experience for new interns in the Western US. You can learn more about it here.

Fun fact: Ben and I met on the 2004 Intern Trek. Here is the proof:


It took many years before a romantic relationship blossomed,
but this is technically the first time we appear in the same photograph.

The Trek involves a lot of travel (we'll be driving 3,000 miles when all is said and done) and great training by some incredible IV staff. We'll each be responsible for leading a small group during the Trek and helping out with some evangelism coaching during a proxé outreach in Albuquerque.

The Trek itself begins in Albuquerque and ends in Flagstaff, but we'll be driving down from Portland with the Northwest interns and back up once the Trek is over.

But what's summer without a roadtrip?
