It won’t be long before we’re joined by this year’s Ministry Associates (formerly known by the title ‘Interns’). This is the first time that Canvas has utilized these year-long workers and we couldn’t be more excited.

Ellen, J.T. and Kyle

These great people are recent graduates from university that have decided to spend a year working and learning with us at Canvas. Pictured above is Ellen (left), JT (middle), and Kyle (right). Please pray for them as they are raising the last bit of financial support with the goal of being in Birmingham on September 5th.

P.S. We’re especially excited to share that Ellen is the first ever Canvas worker from England!

Ellen

Tonight is an exciting night for the Canvas crew as we’re helping our future intern Ellen (the first British intern the team will have) host a night of raising awareness for her partnership with Canvas. Tonight we’ll gather together at Pavilion Christian Community with other people who care about Ellen and care about ministering to students. We’ll be sharing more about what Canvas is all about, how Ellen will be making a difference with us, and how people can get involved with this work by supporting Ellen with prayer and finances.

It really is quite an exciting night to think about. As a team, we have set out a long range list of goals for Canvas and having a British intern was one of those long-term, we’ll-get-there-someday dreams. Yet, here we are. Tonight, celebrating and encouraging Ellen and her commitment to loving students in Birmingham will be a pleasure and we’re excited about the upcoming term and all that we anticipate and see God doing on the horizon.

We’re looking forward to welcome Ellen and all of the upcoming Canvas exchange students and missionary associates (the new CMF slang for intern). This is going to be an exciting time in the history of Canvas!
