"Back home people tend to live day to day not paying attention to the people around them. I'm not even sure if I know the neighbors a couple houses down to be completely honest. Coming to stn was a big change for me. Living in a community where people know the homeless by name and seek to bless them. People running across the street to buy someone a meal. Someone spontaneously praying over you and encouraging and speaking life into you. It's all really cool to be a part of."
"I didn't initially plan to stay for Internship, but through making friends and being encouraged by staff I decided to stick around. I can't thank those people enough. Not only have I walked away from Internship with some amazing people that will be with me the rest of my life, but I also was completely shaken in what seemed like simple concepts that transformed the way I view everything. Things like generosity and thankfulness, that I thought I had an understanding of, to hear them radicalized through a true Christ-perspective - and then to see it played out. Teaching is a huge aspect of Internship but what sticks out is when they immediately ask you to put it into play. STN isn't a place that wants things to land of deaf ears, but to walk away transformed, living a life truly outside of the box. To dream bigger for yourself and partner with God in ways you would have never expected. I've been to the Christian camps and the Christian college, but no one is doing it like this in my opinion."
