My name is Brett Witte and I am a 22 year old student at Moody Bible Institute looking to graduate in Pastoral Studies. I have six siblings and was born and raised in Chicago, IL. I love basketball, reading Christian books, and going on long bike rides. This semester I have heard of a great opportunity for a summer internship in the UK with the Alliance for Transatlantic Theological Training (AT3). AT3 is a transatlantic theological training organization whose goal is to reach the post-Christian culture of the UK. The post-Christian culture is a culture where people are simply turning away from the idea of God and what the deeper meanings of life are. If you ask a person in the UK what the purpose of the church is, they most likely won’t be able to give an answer.

In the UK we will be working to help the churches to reach people in this context through evangelism, discipleship, service work, and more. Also, while we are there, we will be receiving in-depth training on a subject of our choosing, and for me I am hoping to do biblical counseling. This will teach me how to care and love for people deeper and help them in a more Christ-like manner. I am so passionate to go to the UK this summer for a multitude of reasons, but one sticks out above them all: only 3% of the UK population are actually born again, church-attending Christians. This broke my heart when I heard it for the first time, and it created a passion inside of me to want to make a difference. This summer, I want to help make a difference in any way that I can and help people in the UK hear the gospel.
