INCALINK Web Site

This summer was an incredible experience interning with Inca Link. I was challenged and stretched beyond what I thought was even possible, but in the end I learned more than I thought was possible. The summer as a whole for me was learning about relying on God, finding joy in all situations and loving those who God has called me to love.

what a great summer, what an even greater God!

through my life-changing experience of serving as an intern for IncaLink, I learned what it means to be a servant leader, a better stewardess of my gifts, and an advocate of missions.I met some amazing people who taught me many things about life, love and the teachings of Christ. With the support and teaching of the leadership of Incalink I was able to learn and grow spiritually as well as gain a better understanding of a different culture.

This summer God proved that His dreams for me are better than anything I could ever dream for myself- His plan is the best. He opened my eyes to His power and majesty in ways I definitely did not expect!

My name is Rachel Cheshier I got to be and intern with Inca Link for about 2 weeks. I came to Ecuador this summer with Alliance Bible Fellowship from Boone, NC. While I was there, I heard about this conference they were having there in Quito, called Quito '08. So I decided to go. The conference was January 1-8, and it was a conference mainly for young people who feel called to missions. The conference was amazing, be looking to see if there's going to be another one! Then I stayed with the Brown's in Quito for about 2 more weeks. I got to go to the women's prison, the old folks home, some local churches, and just hang out in Quito. I also got to go out to Bramadora and Reten for a weekend and see what's going on there, which ended up being my favorite part of the trip. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and if your thinking about doing in internship somewhere, Inca Link should definitely be on the top of your list!

We have another year intern! Thanks to the help of our friends over at youth world, we were able to get a year visa for Cheryl Walsh, our very brave year intern. Despite many discouraging setbacks with visas etc. Cheryl plugged away and we have the pleasure of having her here with us in Quito. Cheryl is from Lisa’s home church in Hamilton, Ontario, Paramount Drive Alliance Church. She had served for many years in the children’s department and felt God calling her into full time missions. Having already met many of the requirements at the National Office, she wanted to get out here and have some first hand experience. She came in October with a team from Canada, and while she was here, we were able to meet and interview her, encouraging her to come back as a year intern! In an amazing display of support Cheryl met and went over the financial requirements to come for a year, and has been helping us since May of 2007. No sooner had she gotten here, that she was out in the jungle leading a team. She did a great job, but after returning was exhausted and discouraged. She didn’t think she could live a whole year at that kind of pace. God spoke to her, and reassured her of her calling, and since then she has been a constant encouragement to those around her! Her attention to detail and mothering skills (she worked as a nanny for many years) has been a wonderful addition to our new intern team. She is like the den mother, and we are so glad she is here. Can’t wait for the rest of the year Cheryl! I promise things will slow down in September. Cheryl will be traveling with us to Peru, where she will help lead 6 teams, one of them being from her home church.
