Bre Allgeier

Youth Ministries PRIME Experience

Bre had the deep conviction from God about going to the Los Angeles area to do her PRIME internship even though she had been fighting that idea for so long. When she made the decision to go, the moment of surrendering everything to God was intimate and special for her. She said, “I will always hold onto that moment forever because of how special it was.”

Maddie Warden

Special Needs Ministry PRIME Experience

I had the opportunity to serve as the youth and arise intern at Irving Bible Church in Irving, Texas, located in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. As someone who grew up in rural Michigan, I tried to avoid going to a big city in Texas for seven months as a 21-year-old. I told God “no” and tried to run like Jonah did when God told him to go to Ninevah. When I actually got there, I had a lot of peace that this was where God intended for me to be, and that while there, I would grow as a young adult who is called to ministry.

Avery Hills

Youth Ministries PRIME Experience

I grew a lot in my technical abilities like teaching, ProPresenter, and Canva, but I also grew as Avery. I was more independent, more outgoing, and more responsible. I got out of my comfort zone in some way almost every day, whether that be driving long distances, making friends, etc.
