Hear how the Lord brought Kimberley to the VOH internship.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">My name is Kimberley Hunt and I am from southern Ontario, Canada.\u00a0 I grew up going to church every Sunday and praying before every meal.\u00a0 When I was twelve years old, I spent a week at Awana Camp.\u00a0 It was there that I realized that I was a sinner and in need of a Saviour.\u00a0 I confessed my sin to Christ and decided to put my trust in Him.\u00a0 After high school, I went to university to obtain a teaching degree.\u00a0 During these five years, I was involved in Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.\u00a0 For the first time, I had Christian friends my own age and had leaders discipling me one-on-one.\u00a0 The time they spent investing in my life helped me grow in my relationship with Christ.\u00a0 It was also during these five years that my love for First Nations people grew.\u00a0 I decided that I wanted to teach in a First Nations community in Northern Ontario after graduation.\u00a0 God opened the door for this to happen.\u00a0 I spent the next three years teaching primary students.\u00a0 During these three years, I saw so much brokenness.\u00a0 In my third year, God allowed me to witness a tragedy.\u00a0 Through this, I felt Him calling me to attend Word of Life Bible Institute (WOLBI) in Owen Sound, Ontario.\u00a0 I spent that following year studying Scripture and being discipled.\u00a0 It was a hard but freeing year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>How did you hear about the VOH internship?\u00a0 Why were you interested in coming to VOH to serve for a year?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">During my time at WOLBI, my discipler, the dean of woman at the school, told me about Vision of Hope.\u00a0 She thought I would be interested in doing the internship because she knew that the women who came to this residential treatment center faced some of the same struggles that I saw in the community in which I taught.\u00a0 A reoccurring lesson that I learned throughout my time at WOLBI is the importance of being trained before going out on the mission field.\u00a0 After learning more about VOH and the training I would receive, I thought this would be a great fit.\u00a0 The training I receive here will better equip me to do ministry in the north (Lord willing).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>What are you excited to learn and grow in the rest of this internship?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">During the past few months, I have already learned so much.\u00a0 God has been working in all areas of my life \u2013 from seeing and repenting of my own sin; sitting in on counseling sessions and seeing how the counselor directs the counselee back to Scripture; learning how to help the ladies apply what they learn in counseling; learning to wait on God\u2019s timing; and having the opportunity to deepen my own faith, love and trust in Christ.\u00a0 I am excited to continue learning all these things as well as so much more.\u00a0 VOH is a great place to learn and is a safe place to make mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>What has been a favorite memory at VOH so far?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">One of my favorite memories is coming off shift to some of the other interns making gigantic bubbles outside.\u00a0 We spent a good twenty minutes or so talking, laughing and making bubbles.\u00a0 Afterwards, we all went inside and chilled in the living room.\u00a0 It was a sweet time of fellowshipping with one another.\u00a0 One of the interns had a whipping cream trick and the night ended with lots of laughter as we all tried to do the trick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>If you were to plan a fun activity for the residents, what would you plan and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\">If I were to plan an activity for the residents, I would want to take them on a hike.\u00a0 During the hike, we would chat, pause to take photos and just enjoy being out in God\u2019s creation.\u00a0 I would also want to stop to have a picnic or a bonfire and sing praises to God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/Please visit our website https:\/\/www.faithlafayette.org\/voh\/get-involved\/internship-opportunities for more information about VOH internships.\">website <\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"> for more information about VOH internships.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kimberley is in the middle in the photo above, surrounded by several of her fellow interns.
