Each season is so unique. \u201cSeason 3\u201d was the most musical group we have ever had. Their impact at Hope for Kids, in Boston and internationally was truly outstanding! I feel so blessed to have been with them through this adventure and I can\u2019t wait to see where God will take them next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the Beam Missions Foundation launched the Chance of a Lifetime (COAL) program<\/a> for 10-15 individuals to spend 15 months changing lives, growing personally and seeing dynamic ministries around the world. COAL functions in a “season” structure similar to years in college. So while Season 3 celebrated the end of their internship, the team of Season 4 were the “servers” throughout the evening as they kick off the second phase of their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our faithful network, the fourth season of COAL became one of our most diverse classes yet, seeing interns come in from Canada, Mexico, Germany, India, and the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
