Deya Esteban
After completing two summer internships at Orton Park and a year-long internship, Deya joined TCM as an Outreach Worker at Jesse-Ketchum. The passage she always reflects on comes from Joshua 1: 7-9, in which God commands Joshua, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” She is confident that God will guide her and use the skills, growth and wisdom He has given her through the internships to lead the Jesse-Ketchum site.
Deya hopes to listen and learn from all that God teaches her so that she can more fully reflect His love and grace to our ministry communities through both her words and actions.

As programs began the following week, the feeling of determination I had developed over the summer had returned. While the word, determination, might sound promising or even praise-worthy, don’t be fooled. This determination was fuelled by doing a good job and meeting criteria in order to be able to sleep well at night. In other words, I began to rely on my own strength to attempt to power through and even cope with the challenge of increased leadership. It wasn’t until a couple of incidents that I finally understood what this more important word, Strength, had meant both in terms of ministry and my life as a whole.
