Working for the Church is an amazing opportunity to learn and to feel recognized. On my first day of work, I had the opportunity to meet amazing brothers and sisters, who treated me very well. Also, I had the opportunity to learn a lot of my direct leader, who taught me everything about my responsibilities. I love working for the Church and have the opportunity of helping in the Kingdom, with the company of the Holy Spirit.
What I wish was different
My integration day, the one before my first day of work, I felt a little bit lost, but maybe because I was a little bit nervous.
Advice
In my case, as an international student, with a high experience working in another companies, my advice is to be humble and faithful. Humble because been at the church is not the same as been in a traditional company, we don't need to be proud or worried of showing of our previous skills or experiences, because, in my opinion, at the church, we are all the same and what matter most is our faithful, and will of helping people and also, being nice to each other.

Journalism Intern
September - December 2017 • Frankfurt, Hesse
