Amazing story!



Karrie is a girl who I have been spending time with since we met at our New Year's Conference. She was on the soccer team at USA and became a Christian a couple of years ago. She is graduating in May and going to speech pathology school here in the fall. She comes to our house regularly to spend time with our family and be a part of our lives.

Her sister (Kelly) is close to becoming a believer and Karrie had been praying for God to perform a major miracle for her to go to Summer Beach Project and He did! Kelly has been saying these last few months, "God always does great things for everyone else, but never for me. He doesn't care about me."
In one week, God showed her He does! He:
  • had one person she didn't even know pay her whole way to Beach Project ($1200) - money was a major barrier to her going
  • caused her art internship in New York (that Kelly never would have said no to because it was too important to her art career) and roommate situation for the summer to fall apart
  • caused her parents, who were mad at Karrie for wanting Kelly to go to Project, to be in favor of it
I have personally gotten to know Kelly at New Year's Conference and at our Winter Getaway this past March, and have had many gospel conversations with her. I am excited about getting to continue to be part of her life this summer and watch God change her.
