Great Job, Nate!

Wednesday night was a great night for our students. Our summer intern, Nate Rancatore, ran the Re:volution service from start to finish, and he did an excellent job. I was very proud of him for stepping way outside his "comfort zone" all summer and doing a great job. Nate's leadership ability has grown a lot this summer, and it was clearly evident this week.

Next Wednesday Nate will again lead Re:volution, but I will be away at the National Fine arts Festival. I know he'll do a great job again!

P.S. You can read Nate's thoughts about this past week's adventure on his blog: http://nathanrancatore.blogspot.com/

Nate the Intern vs. The Corral

Last week I took Nate the Intern to the Corral for an ice cream cone. I got the medium, and told Nate he could get the large if he wanted...so he did.

It was fun to watch him try to eat the whole thing before it melted.

I need to get a life.

Meet the Intern!

This summer has been wild ride already, as we welcome our new intern at First Assembly, Nathan Rancatore.

Nate is no stranger to our youth ministry, Re:volution, because as a freshman in a local college, Nate served as a volunteer for our student ministry. Faithfully for about 1 1/2 years, he and Jesse Kauric would come up from Monroeville and do whatever they could to help.

Today, Nate is a Junior at Valley Forge Christian College, and he is serving as our college intern for the next 10 weeks. I love this guy because he has such a servant's heart, and he is always willing to work hard. I'm looking forward to great things in his ministry both now, and in the years to come.

It's great to serve along side you, bro, and here's to an awesome summer! Welcome to the team, Nate!
