We decided to record one of our staff meetings for the three people that read our blog and who might wonder what a day in the iGo office is like. None of this is planned, staged, scripted or any other synonym you can think of. We tried to filter through the boring stuff. Hope you enjoy the ridiculousness that is our staff:
The day Allison edited this video was the SAME day we found our new office! Praise the Lord! Be praying for us as we transition to the new location in Wylie.
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at iGo? Are you interested in getting to know our staff on a deeper level and experiencing missions mobilization first hand? If so, then you should be a Jimmy! Every summer we have 6-8 interns that serve alongside our staff who are collectively known as “Jimmy.”
Jimmy plays a huge role in recruiting students for the coming year, assisting with the logistics of mobilization, talking with students on the phone, organizing and running base camp, and much more! Imagine yourself at Base Camp with food AND your suitcase!
A lot of time will be spent in the office preparing for Base Camp and completing various administrative tasks. Jimmy is not, however, just an office job. It is an internship – both in the office and outside the office. One of the most important aspects of Jimmy is the spiritual growth and development you will experience through intentional discipleship and Biblical community.
Are you teachable, loyal, servant-hearted and a hard-worker? Do you like to laugh and have fun? Then come Jimmy with us this summer! Click HERE to visit our website for more info and the application. Hurry! The deadline is approaching fast!
New for 2010!!! James “Rowdy” Rodgers is joining the iGo Global staff this year. Rowdy has been working with media for years running the media presentations at Super Summers and Hot Hearts conferences. We are looking for 1-2 students this summer who have media and techy type skills. Rowdy is a great teacher and you will have a great opportunity to enhance your skills in video editing, medial production, etc. as you help mobilize students.

I’m thankful for…working in a community of people who are passionately pursuing sanctification and are not perfect, but are willing to share with each other their struggles, weaknesses, and shortcomings.
