Kelly RettigMy main job at North Myrtle Beach Summer Project is to disciple women in how to share their faith and develop their specific leadership abilities. This is an awesome job when you're working with girls like Kelly!
Kelly just finished her sophomore year at UW-Madison. She is majoring in secondary English Education in hopes to become a high school English teacher. This summer Kelly is excited to share Christ in her work place at Boulineau's IGA grocery store.
About a week ago, Kelly came home from her job and was feeling the stress of being away from home, learning a new job, engaging in a culture very different than the midwest and trying her best to do well. Though the last thing she probably wanted to do was engage people in spiritual conversations on the beach, that is exactly what we did!
It didn't take long to get into a conversation with two gals from northern California. Aly was incredibly interested in how to begin a personal relationship with God. After stepping her through the main points of the Christian faith, she prayed to receive Christ in her life. Aly was incredibly thankful that two girls from Wisconsin would talk to a girl from California on a beach in South Carolina. Only God could have orchestrated that one!
As Kelly and I walked back to project housing, she looked at me and said, "This is the BEST worst day ever! I would endure more bad days like this if I knew they would all end this way!" This is just one example of the many God sightings down here in NMB! Stay tuned for more...
Wow that's an awesome, inspiring story! I like the quote :)
