A Change of Seasons...

Conference season has ended and autumn brings a whole new feel to this IJM internship.  This summer flew by and I still can’t believe we are nearly half-way through September! Summer Madness, New Horizon and Bangor Worldwide were all really wonderful in different ways.  New Horizon was very different from Summer Madness and honestly much different than any conference I have ever been to.

Summer Madness and Aaron Weiss

Well friends, if you live in Northern Ireland, chances are you will have heard about Summer Madness.

Speaking and hosting stands at different churches and events is one of my favorite parts of the internship. The more I speak about issues of injustice...

We hung out a lot throughout the week and Joe was really lovely, making sure we were always being taken care of. As you can see, we were probably the funnest group there. Just saying. Ha!) So Tuesday through Thursday really consisted of several seminars and meetings and we learned so much...

Washington DC// Training Week Part One

Well friends, I can’t believe it, but training week in Washington D.C. has come and gone! From the 3rd-9th of June, I was at International Justice Mission Headquarters with 73 other new (although a few of us had already started) trainees. There was a mix of new HQ, Field Office, and Partner Office staff/interns/fellows.  This was IJM’s biggest group of trainees yet. How exciting to be a part of it! I arrived on Sunday, the night...
