Four talented, energetic people have responded to God’s call to spend nine months at Portland Fellowship. They will live in community in Fellowship House, study under some of Portland’s finest teachers, and assist in PF’s ministries. We are humbled by the array of gifts and experiences these folk will bring. Please welcome:
jason bigelow
Jason comes to us from Escanaba, Michigan. As preparation for his internship, Jason spent last year in Portland participating in our Taking Back Ground program. This past summer he spent directing a day camp for the Salvation Army, in which holds the rank of Soldier. Jason has had opportunities to speak to churches, lead worship services, and to write of his journey to healing and freedom from homosexuality. During his internship, he hopes to work toward completion of his degree in Psychology. As Jason tells his story, he “boasts” only of Christ Jesus, and his sufficient grace which is made perfect in weakness.
joshua coy
Josh's most recent ministry has been working as the Technical Arts Coordinator for a church in Nashville, Tennessee. Prior to that, he worked with Campus Crusade doing program direction, writing, and other responsibilities. He writes, “My prayer is, ‘God, I feel like you’ve built me for full-time ministry. What do I do to move forward in that?’” Josh, as have interns in the past, will seek God’s will for his life in the midst of community activities, supervised ministry, and mentoring.
rick reed
Rick is coming from Oklahoma City, where he worked as a physical therapy technician. He is a teacher of Japanese, and was previously a teacher of English in Minto, Japan. Like many who come to be interns, Rick’s goals are both specific and general: “I want to learn how to reach out to those who seek help for any form of sexual addiction, with my main focus on those who struggle with homosexuality…I want to be more sound in God’s word and to be able to share more effectively…to be stronger in my faith.”

daniel pullman
Daniel is well known to us at PF, having completed the two years of Taking Back Ground. Daniel lives and works in Tualatin, Oregon, where he is employed in electronic microscopy, a field in which he holds an Associate Degree and has received honors. Daniel found his experience at PF life-changing, and wants to explore ministry possibilities. He writes, “I feel that every Christ-follower is called to ministry….Paul says it so beautifully…his descriptions of the church are filled with love and compassion not only for the church body but also for the community surrounding them.”
