Deborah is a creative, fun loving adventurer. If she could she would spend most of her days traveling God's beautiful earth and taking photos. She loves her ukulele, drinking Green Tea Frappes, and playing board games with friends. If she has a day off you may find her trying out a new recipe she found on Pinterest.

Fill in the Blank - Intern
Sadly, many churches are closing all across North America. We want to see that trend stopped! Movement Church is one attempt to impact the culture, particularly in the Fraser Valley, with a life giving, and multiplying church plant that aims to see many come to know, follow, and embrace for life, our LORD Jesus. This will require new ways to reach people that we have not yet considered. Check out this link that describes four brilliant ideas/ways that missional churches are changing the cultual landscape in North America. Now dream of what God can do here in the Fraser Valley, and help us write your own job description!
Forgotten fifty internships
F50 Interns
The Forgotten 50 are the least evangelized university and/or college campuses in all of North America. All 50 campuses are located in Canada, most in Quebec. Our hope is to send missionaries to all 50 of these campuses to establish campus ministries and church plants aimed at beginning to reach these communities before Canada Day July 1, 2020. Please visit our website.
This is the perfect volunteer internship for someone who is aiming to become a missiologist or strategist. Serving up to 10 hours a week, you would be tasked with helping us update our website and blog, helping grow our 350 person strong weekly prayer text group, to well over 1000, helping to get word out to the Canadian Church about our great need to reach these campus/communities for Christ, and assisting Kelly Manire in BC, the Co-Director of the Forgotten 50.
