Chloe Powell, university student in the USA, shares about her summer internship experience with TeachBeyond - learning about the organization, using her gifts to serve, and deepening her understanding of global missions. 

• “Whether you’re the missionary being sent or you’re the sender offering your support, those roles are all needed.”
• “You hear a lot about missionaries and they’re the ones who are going out on the mission field and serving, but there’s so much that happens behind the scenes, and those people are still considered missionaries, as well.”
• “I witnessed a practical approach to be able to contextualize the Gospel message in a way that’s understandable cross-culturally while still valuing that person’s cultural identity.”
• “Displaying humility and being willing to ask questions can really lead to beautiful relationships.”
• “When you ask lots of different TeachBeyond members about what TeachBeyond is, they are likely going to give you many different answers. Through my internship, I was able to get a glimpse of a variety of those different descriptions and see the different parts that make up TeachBeyond.”
• “Knowing that I don’t have to do it on my own and that the Lord has prepared the way and He has prepared me and equipped me with all that I need to be able to do that, that was so encouraging to hear.”
• “Pursue whatever the Lord is placing on your heart and continue to walk through those doors that the Lord has opened for you, and just trust that His plan is great.”
• “It can be so easy to want to stay in your own comfort zone, but it’s in those moments when we’re out of our comfort zones that we experience the most growth.”
• “Being part of something bigger than myself and knowing that the Lord can use me to help transform lives and communities around the world is just such an exciting thing.”
• “My generation has a great access to understanding and wanting to learn more about people who are different than ourselves, and I think that’s something that we can really bring to the mission field.”
