Ben will go to Ecuador for three months to participate in the Hacienda El Refugio intern program. Hacienda El Refugio is a training and retreat centre which facilitates a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through nature and outdoor adventure. It is located in Calacalí, a peaceful rural setting, at more than 9,000 ft elevation in the mountains just north of Quito, and almost exactly on the Equator. The intern program is designed to provide young adults with the opportunity to engage in all the activities of camp. This could mean serving on the maintenance crew cutting up fallen trees or working with the llamas; running the activities for local groups that come for a weekend; or helping with short-term teams. Ben will live on-site along with some other interns, there they receive discipleship training, 1:1 mentoring and Spanish classes.
Ben has just graduated from CEGEP in Quebec and has plans to go to university to study engineering next year. Ben grew up in a Christian family and made his own decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ during his childhood and teen years. Ben has worked in Canadian Christian camps for several years participating in leadership programs in these latter years. He is excited about this opportunity to serve God and expand his experience of God's church worldwide. He hopes this time will deepen his faith and lead him to further adventures.
