"I'm Emily and I was born and raised in Orlando. My family is great
although sometimes quirky we love each other.  We have a dog that
we love probably more than the average human is loved.  I've played
volleyball all my life and miss it dearly now that I'm in college.  I spent
13 school years at OCS and am SO excited to serve them after their
school served me for such a huge part of my life.  I can't wait to invest
in people's lives this summer and be able to show them what a
completely incomparable God we serve!"

2010 Summer Interns

Emily Rush
Summer Intern
University of Forida


"Most recently I am from the state of Washington, but my favorite
place is Annapolis, Maryland.  I have moved around quite a bit and was
home schooled until high school.  My family is very tight and we are each
other's best friends.  I am the eldest of four siblings and I have a brother
and two sisters.  I love all sports but I really love any form of action
sports and I am always willing to try new ones!"

Jonathan Knopf
Summer Intern
Covenant College


"I was born in St. Lous, Missouri but now live in Atlanta, Georgia with my family. I have 8 younger siblings and they are all really awesome.  One of my greatest joys in my life is definitely my family.  I love music, the outdoors and any kind of athletics, but especially soccer!  I am a music major at Covenant with a youth ministry minor and I'm planning to start doing ministry right out of school.  I grew up in an incredible church near Atlanta (Chestnut Mtn Pres). My life has been shaped through their missions, music, and discipleship ministry.  I loved visiting Orangewood over spring break and can't wait to get back there"

"My life can be brought down into three things; God, soccer, and friends.
My family are my best friends. I am the complete opposite of shy and I enjoy
going for long rides in my car Mystique.  My favorite quote is from my favorite movie Gladiator, "What we do in life echoes in eternity." I am looking forward to meeting you all!"

Summer Intern

"Marietta, GA is my childhood home, Chattanooga is my college community
home, and God has now called my to my current home away from home in
Glenside, PA where I am a student at Westminster Theological Seminary.
I love love LOVE being outside, getting people together, going for a run or hike, planning events, and doing anything creative.  I'm getting my Masters in Biblical Counseling to use in Camp ministry or a Mentorship Ministry to aid cross-generational relationships within the Church.  I can't wait to be at Orangewood this summer!"
