Amazing Testimony from 24-7 InternPhil Togwell - 21 Oct 2009

Emma Nicholson, a newly graduated 24-7 Wild Goose (intern/mentoring program), had this glowing report of her year spent serving the movement...

"Well, this year I became a traveler rather than a tourist, a human “being” rather than a human “doing.” I have stopped and therefore seen that the Kingdom of God is in and amongst all things – if I chose to find it!

Wild Goose has given me time to stop. Time to reflect and time to “be”. Be myself and be with Jesus. I look back over my year, through the pages of my journal I see the footprints of Jesus weaving beauty into a chaotic life. This is something he has always done but this year positioned me to see it.

I am thankful for so much… for the tears shed in coffee shops, for answered prayers, for the confusion, the questions, the doubts and the smiles. But most of all I’m thankful for Jesus; because he knew I needed to be here. He knew I needed to adjust my rhythm of life and to walk with someone through it. He has pulled down the walls I had built and the boxes I had in place to just see him. In a nutshell, this is what Wild Goose has done for me – destroyed my life in the most beautiful way and I’m forever grateful for that! Amen."

Emma did brilliantly... and she's now very much part of the Guildford Boiler Room community, and the wider global 24-7 family. And so the Wild Goose journey continues...

We're just about to launch a second Wild Goose year, with new interns based with UK team-ers in Reading.  However, there are plenty of other 24-7 leaders around the UK and the world who could receive an intern this year (me included)... so do please get in touch if you think you might be interested (uk = Phil Togwell, international Alana Wiens) and we'll send you some more information.
