LCC/LLL-C intern announced for summer 2023

CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) and Lutheran Laymen’s League of Canada (LLL-C) have teamed up again to offer a paid, part-time internship opportunity for the third summer in a row.

For the summer of 2023, the internship will focus on inspiring young people to consider their gifts and how they might be used in service of God’s people. Potential applicants were again invited to share their ideas on how they might get involved in church work on a national level. 

Lisa Jackson, LLL-C’s Managing Director, and Alex Steinke, LCC Director of Communications, are thrilled to announce the intern for the summer of 2023: Joseph Behl.

Joseph Behl holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in International Business, with minors in both French and German, from Dalhousie University. He also holds a Certificate in Intercultural Communication. Joseph is a member of St. Andrew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he serves as treasurer for the congregation. Joseph was recently accepted into the Master of Divinity program at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, where he will start in the upcoming Fall semester. Born in the UK to an Indian family of Punjabi Christians, and coming from a remote congregation in Atlantic Canada, Joseph is eager to explore ways to serve LCC’s domestic mission and ministry opportunities, especially in the context of isolated congregations and language ministries.

Joseph will receive mentorship from both organizations, with opportunities to come together for group discussions, brainstorming, and to workshop ideas and projects in a collaborative environment. Initial discussion surrounding potential projects for the summer and areas of work took place during preliminary interviews, where it was decided that Joseph’s talents, and especially his knowledge and passion for languages, make him an asset to LCC and LLL-C’s French ministry work. Joseph will work primarily with LLL-C this summer supporting work in a variety of areas, including French-language resources, as well as on LCC French Ministry media projects.

Please remember Joseph, as well as leadership from both organizations, in your prayers as this collaborative work takes place over the summer months.
