King's Church, Durham - The Kings Internship

The 11-12 Interns

Tom Barber

Hey, I’m Tom and I’m I swapped one small city for another when I moved from Bath to study Theology at Durham three years ago. I enjoy making music, acting, attempting to play football and have been involved in student welfare at college. The rest of my time is spent gaining medical experience - you may even have seen me in the front of an ambulance at some point! I’m really excited to be spending a year delving deep into God’s heart, word, plan and purposes.

Gus Bonnington

Hi, I’m Gus from here in Durham (the first home-grown intern). I’ve just finished sixth form at Durham Johnston where I did various sciences. I can’t wait to get stuck in and find out what plans God has for me this year, especially looking forward to mission! In my free time you’ll find me playing sport, most regularly football.

Eva Mayer

Hi, I'm Eva! I come from the lovely town of Knutsford in Cheshire, where I've grown up on a farm. I've just graduated in Combined Arts from Durham. I love art, baking, music and spontaneity. I am very excited about the challenges of the coming year and seeing what God has in store for me and for this city!

Tim Richardson

Hi, I'm Tim, from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. I studied Physics at Van Mildert College, Durham, where I played badminton and helped lead the Christian Union. I love to play tennis, take photographs and go for walks, and I’m looking forward to studying more of God’s word this year.

Lucie Ritzenthaler

Hi, I’m Lucie. I come from a small town in the Midlands, and I’ve just graduated from Durham with a Combined Arts degree in History and Philosophy. I like dancing, all things floral, reading, walks in the countryside and live music. I’m looking forward to seeing God at work in Durham in the coming year!

Steph Smithson

Hi I’m Steph. I’ve just graduated from Durham where I studied Geography. I’m from Sunderland, and I love the northeast, can’t get enough of it. I love jogging and tea – English Breakfast on a morning and Earl Grey in the afternoon. What I lack in height I make up for in personality!

Abigail Stewart

Hello! I’m Abi and I’m from Chester. I’ve just graduated from Durham where I studied Chemistry at Collingwood College. I love playing the piano and the flute, reading and drinking rather a lot of tea! I’m really excited about finding out more about God and seeing where he leads me over the next year.

Fay Townsend

Hello, I'm Fay and I'm from Salford. I've just graduated from Durham after studying Geography and being part of the lovely St John's College! I enjoy days out to the beach/countryside, baking, coffee shops and period dramas! I'm looking forward to growing in God and the new challenges ahead this year!

Jessie Wisenfeld

Hello, I'm Jessie! I come from beautiful North Devon and have just graduated from Durham, where I studied English Literature, Spanish and Italian. I love cooking and having people over for dinner, sketching, coffee shops and anything with flowers on it! I am so looking forward to seeing where God takes us all over the course of the year, getting to know Him better and seeing other come to know Him, too.

Melanie Woods

Hiya, I’m Mel! Coming to Durham from the sunny South (near Reading) has been amazing. Having graduated from Durham in Psychology, last year I worked as JCR President at Josephine Butler College. I am now excited to begin my next adventure and see what Jesus has in store over the year. I enjoy horse-riding, singing, basketball, reading and much more, and have a passion for South Africa.
