OUR '05-'06 URBAN PROMISE INTERNS





Are you wondering who these fine looking people are? Well wonder no more! These six individuals make up our 2005-2006 intern group. They have chosen to give up 9 months of their lives to come and live in the city of Camden, NJ, to live in Christian community with one another, to love the kids of Camden, and to learn from all this city has to teach.

OK, so who are they?

We've only been together since mid September, but already we've done some amazing things! Thanks to some very generous people who were willing to share thier place with us, we were able to go on an intern retreat and stay only two blocks from the beach!! It was a great time to get to know each other better and just be able to prepare for all that God had in store for us!

We were also blessed with some great music! We were able to attend two concerts, Da'Truth who played with The Ambassador, and Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin. They were both awesome worship experiences!
