Simply put, this year’s Go Weekend can only be expressed with one word: “Amazing”. Who knew that in such a short amount of time so much could be accomplished? As one of the interns, Brittany Norris put it: ”It should’ve been called, ‘A lifetime’s worth of lessons in one weekend’ weekend.”  Starting Friday, the interns quickly took hold of the core values that were presented to them and established friendships without hesitation. Continuing into Saturday they showed the love of God through various outreach opportunities and leadership challenges that stretched their abilities to new lengths. Lauren Bruhn, another first year stated that: ”Through the Go Weekend, I slowly let myself accept the beauty and uniqueness that God gave me! Ahh, it was like a breath of fresh air.” It was evident that not only were people’s lives touched in Kansas City, as well as the members of our team. As it ended on Sunday, it was apparent that a new family had emerged and that this year’s group of Go Interns had a new energy and momentum! We are expectant to head into the year with this group of wonderful people who are willing to dedicate themselves to reaching others!

Alumni spotlight: Andy Unruh

The Go Internship is celebrating its fifth year of operation.  Andy Unruh graduated with our 2009 class of students.  We caught up with Andy recently to hear about what he has been doing since he graduated.

Go: Since your time at Go, you’ve ventured out on some very exciting endeavors. What did you do?
Andy: I decided to move to Vail, Colorado and take a job on the mountain where I was able to snowboard everyday for a winter season! I worked as a freelance graphic designer to earn extra money, as well as work for a marketing company in the area.

Go: What are you currently doing now?
Andy: Now I am working as a youth pastor at a local church in the northern part of Texas. I am also opening a coffee/espresso/flavored teashop to meet the coffee needs of the people!

Go: How did the classes and practical training you received at internship help you after you left?
Andy: I could have never EVER been able to do graphic design without the classes @ GO. Also the craziness of starting a business from scratch is MUCH easier with the classes on business, sales, finance and marketing. I could have never done any of it, or even dreamed of doing the things that make me come alive if it wasn’t for the Go Internship. The skills, relationships, knowledge and challenges during my time at Go Internship, thrust me forward into my destiny and calling! Because of GO, I now DO WHAT I LOVE!!! Also, if it wasn’t for GO, I wouldn’t be so addicted to coffee that I felt like I “need” to open a coffee shop! Just Kidding… Kind of.

We are very proud of you Andy and the impact you are making in your local community.  You’ve always had a passion for business and a HUGE heart for youth- it is great to see you living out your dreams.
