Fast forward to last night. We had a women’s event at my house and we started the night off with some worship. One of the songs was How He Loves. Now whenever I hear this song I think of that night and the people around the world that don’t have the safety to openly worship in their homes. We are so privileged to be able to have Bible studies and worship nights in our home. That night taught me so much. It taught me to always be praying for countries around the world where being a Christian is illegal. It’s something that we don’t always think or talk about, but it should be. We should always be praying for our brothers and sisters in those countries. That they have courage and heart. To not give up. Please pray with me for them. 

Here are a few more pictures of my time in Ocean City, NJ. Such a fun time learning, and growing from others and God! 

Here are a few pics of what my current life looks like via OC, NJ. It has been such a blast living and working here. Yes, the humidity is not fun and people are a little different than folks from the Bay Area.. but it has been so refreshing and life giving. Myself and about 40 other Staff from all over the US are here for 7 weeks, working alongside about 105 students. We have two weeks left, which seems a bit crazy! Definitely have come to love late night trips to WaWa, hearing stories of changed lives on the boardwalk, traveling across states in less than an hour (what!) and waking up, knowing I am exactly where I am suppose to be. Looking forward to these last couple of crazy weeks! -K

Well the week everyone who has ever gone on project has talked about. It is finally Killing the Giants week, which is a week specifically aimed at evangelism on the boardwalk. This week started on Saturday where we got in our impact groups and did a scavenger hunt and went sharing on the boardwalk for an hour and a half. When we got back to the church we were told to write down a goal that we had for ourselves of how many spiritual conversations with people. As a group we collectively said we wanted to have 4,092 conversations in just a week! And in just two days we have already had 1,200, which is amazing because it has been storming a lot this week. I just pray that we continue to strive for our goal of 4,000+ conversations and see so many more people come to Christ. 

I already know that Ocean City is going to be great. Sharing on the boardwalk, immersing myself in such a God-centered community, and growing exponentially in my walk with the Lord will all be experiences that I’ll keep for the rest of my life. But the reality of the situation is that the two months that I spend there are going to go by in the blink of an eye. Soon I’ll be gearing up for my sophomore, junior, and senior years. And what will be far more important than the pounds I gained from eating so many dollar slice pizzas will be what I learned in OC. I’m not going to Ocean City to stay there, I’m going there to come back.

25 days until I'm in Ocean City. 25 days until the best summer of my life starts.
