Bethany Hamilton-Soul Surfer

Bethany Hamilton-Soul Surfer

Khin saw an article in the local Press Enterprise paper on Thursday advertising that Bethany Hamilton (Soul Surfer) would be speaking at three services at Vantage Point Church in Eastvale. We showed the kids the photo of her in the paper, and they said they wanted to go to see Bethany.  The first service started at 8:30, so we arrived about 8:20.  Much to our amazement, there were already more than 1,000 people in line ahead of us!  We decided to wait and finally made it into the overflow room for the 10:00 service where Bethany’s interview with Pastor Mark Lee was shown on a big screen.  Before the service started, Bethany did come into the cafeteria, where we were sitting, to say hello and thank you for coming.

I was quite impressed with her wisdom, sweetness and love for God.  She said one thing that impacted me, “Your prayer life defines who you are.”  She is only 21, but she is wise beyond her years.
