North Myrtle Beach Summer Project: The Beginnings

Greetings from sunny North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! After a full day of traveling, I arrived safely at the "Lighthouse" on May 18th. This beach house will be home for me and 8 other women for the next month and a half. The first week was a nice balance of staff devotionals, planning, prep and fun! I used this time to adjust from life on campus to working with a new staff team. Let me tell you, these people are great! To make things even better, there are more children on this project than ever before...let's just say I've made a few friends.


Students arrived on May 26th, all 92 of them! Check in day reminded me of my time spent opening a residence hall on campus. We worked long and hard but got all students fed and settled in their apartments. The main reason I'm here this summer is to disciple women. As students checked in, I was able to connect with my girls. Here they are: Kelly, Emily, Jodi, Jen and Lindsey.


As you can see, we've bonded quite quickly!
