Intercultural Program Student Leaders

Class of 2024 | Biblical and Theological Studies | Hungary

Hey:) I am really excited to work for the MCP because cultures are beautiful and we don’t really realize how unique they are until we live somewhere else. The MCP has changed my Covenant experience and made it so much richer. I can’t wait to further explore our differences because I believe God designed us this way for a reason.

I am excited to work with my other intercultural leaders. Getting to know different cultures through this program has been a privilege for me. It has given me a chance to see the beauty of differences and how we can bring them together. This program has added so much to my life in the last year. I hope to do the same in the future.

Class of 2023 | English | United States

Hi, my name is Elysse Carrillo and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the Intercultural Program here at Covenant. It has been a dream of mine to contribute to the growing multi-cultural community on this campus! Some of my favorite hobbies include drawing with charcoal, writing poetry/prose, and playing soccer. I hope to learn more about different ethnic backgrounds and have conversations on the depth of beauty that God has revealed through these cultures.

I am so excited to continue working for the MCP because it is so beautiful seeing people explore their own cultures and share them with others on campus. It is even more beautiful because it gives me a deeper understanding of God’s love for His people on earth. I am looking forward to meeting the new students and helping them quickly feel at home here.

Hey! My name is Joshua Williams. Really excited to get to know you all this year. My favorite thing about the Intercultural program is the strong sense of community and family connection. My hope is to allow for intercultural discussion and dialogue across multiple lines and promote the diversity of God's kingdom to campus.

Levi Kapusuz

Class of 2025 | Biblical and Theological Studies | Turkey

Hey! I cannot wait to be a part of this amazing community. It’s going to be a wonderful two semesters for all of us! Every culture is a gift of God and each of them has its own awesome differences. It is going to be a great privilege to enjoy the cultures with you! I will be leading Life Group meetings. I hope I will see you there!

While we shall not imagine the IP team as a person, it is not simply the aggregation of the members. A team’s goal is the cohesion that builds the team. What is this love, that God uses sinners to be His vessels for His glory? I am a sinner, but I pray God will use me in the IP team to serve his people with His blessings. Culture is most authentic when it is silent, but what human cannot do, I believe God can achieve.
