We would like to introduce you to our summer intern, Mary Helen Bayless. She is going into her senior year at Auburn University where she is majoring in Communication and minoring in Business.
Mary Helen was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and attended Plant High School. She was very involved as a student leader with First Priority all four years where she worked alongside Tampa’s Executive Director Amber Johansen to plan the weekly Bible study lunches as well as the big engage week pizza lunches.
Since then she has continued her passion of sharing Christ on her school campus in college. This past year, she was the New Member Educator for her sorority. In this role of guiding 80 freshmen through their first year of college, she got the opportunity to share the gospel and show them what Christ meant to her and how HE is the only one who can satisfy, even more than everything during their four years in college.
“My greatest passion is helping people realize how to reach their own specific mission field that God has given them. In high school, First Priority pushed me to realize that my mission field was the 2,000 students that I walked the high school halls with daily. This same mentality has carried with me to Auburn where I have made Auburn and specifically my sorority my current mission field.”
