My full story of the internship, what I am raising funds for and details of what I am doing are below!

My name is Maisie and I am going to be moving to Cheltenham to do The New Wine Discipleship Year as a Children's intern. The New Wine Discipleship Year is a year spent growing as a follower of Jesus and involving teaching, placement in an area of ministry, serving and overseas mission. During the year I will be equipped, empowered and encouraged to grow as a disciple of Jesus. I am excited for the many wonderful ways God is going to use me throughout the Year and it is a very exciting chapter for me.

I have a passion for children's ministry and seeing them grow in their relationships with God throughout the year I am excited to see them grow as children of God and I also hope to develop materials to support children with additional needs and hope to design a children's alpha course. I am also passionate about supporting vulnerable families in the Gloucestershire community and I hope to spend some of my time throughout the year supporting work with vulnerable communities in Gloucestershire.

The whole year is self-funded which means I have to cover all the costs of the year including everything from my course fees, mission trips, to all living expenses.

To break down some of these costs:

My course fees are £1000 for the year.

My accommodation fees are £2500 for the year.

Also the mission plan is to visit Florianopolis in Brazil in March/April 2020. This is with one of the Mission Partners linked to my placement church where there are huge opportunities for praying for healing on the streets and supporting vulnerable communities, beach evangelism, and teaching at different churches. This is a wonderful opportunity and the estimated cost for the trip is £1300.

So far I have been blessed with the amount of funds I have been able to save in order to make this a possibility. It would be a wonderful blessing if you could be praying for me and any financial contributions would be hugely appreciated! One off or monthly contributions can be made. Please do contact me if you have any further questions and if you are interested in supporting me at maisie.nwdy@gmail.com.

Thank you everybody!

Note: I have increased my target fundraising to accommodate for the overseas mission trip and contribute towards my course fees! Any support big or small will be a huge help.
