Why Momentum Campus Ministry? I have never attended
a ministry that pours so much into each individual person that attends, like Momentum does and I want to be a part of that.
Why serve as an intern? I serve as an intern because I want to give back to the ministry that has given me so much and poured so much into me. It has allowed me to grow so much more in my faith. I want more students to know the heart behind Momentum Campus Ministry & be touched by it. Being an intern these past 4 years has allowed me to pour into girls and be a leader for the girls in our ministry.
