Summer Interns

This summer, HOKSBA is hosting twenty-three summer interns! With that many students working in our association, the chances are pretty good that your church will be impacted by their service. The twenty-three students are divided into six different teams.

The Association Team will be working in at least five different Vacation Bible Schools, helping with promotion for a couple of others, serving as staff at Kids Kamp, and going door to door in neighborhoods with our Director of Evangelism, Loren Phippen. Catrina Gibson, a student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, is working closely with Mark Jackson to organize, follow-up with and support the hundreds of volunteers coming to Wichita this summer for a mission trip to serve our churches and ministries.

Journey the Way, True Life Church, and Aviator Church all have intern teams helping with the events they have planned for the summer. Each of these churches are using the interns to reach out to their neighborhoods through service projects, day camps, and other creative outreach events. Aviator Church has used intern teams for the last three years, and they have been key to their success in reaching families in the Derby area. Journey the Way and True Life Church hope to do the same in their communities.

Finally, a team of six Hispanic students from Rio Grande Bible Institute are working with our Hispanic Church Planter Strategist, Abraham Arevalo, and the four Hispanic churches scattered throughout Wichita. They are also helping with a new church that is just beginning to form in Newton.
