Support Malia’s Missionary Internship

Life-Giving Wounds interns not only provide administrative support, like a traditional internship, but are also engaged in missionary work alongside us to help heal and evangelize souls from broken homes. Malia will share her testimony, lead small groups, do outreach at the upcoming SEEK 2027 conference, translate materials from English to Spanish, and more.

Why I Felt Called To Intern at LGW

My name is Malia Schmelzer. I am a junior at the University of Maryland--College Park (go Terps!) studying Spanish and philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE) with a minor in human development. My parents separated and divorced during my early childhood. While I knew this had an impact on me, I did not realize the extent to which God wanted and wants to heal me. I so often wanted to hide my pain that I often did not acknowledge how broken I was and am. Lifegiving Wounds has helped me recognize more of the places where I was and am hurting so as to let Christ more deeply into them so that they can be transformed into a place of even deeper encounter with Him. Lifegiving Wounds has helped me embrace my identity as a beloved daughter of God. During my free time, I enjoy working out (lifting, skiing, running), reading, and playing games with family and friends.
