Get to Know Kelly Rivest

Ministry Description

The WOLBI campus on Jeju is an international campus and one thing that we provide for the staff and students is a mix menu with both Asian and Western meals. This year, I have the opportunity to serve as one of the two Western Chef. I will be receiving training and also providing food for the students and staff on campus. I am excited to have the opportunity to serve in the kitchen this year, but most importantly I'm excited to be able to work with the student and fellowship with them. My primary desire is to glorify God through my work in the kitchen by investing in discipleship and encouraging the students through this year.

About Kelly

Having grown up in a Christian family, I've always known about God. However, it wasn't until I was 11 that I understood what Jesus had done for me. At that time, I realised that I couldn't live a life where Jesus and what He did on the cross where not involved. I understood that He was to be Lord over my life, but I had a hard time growing in my relationship with Him and understand how to apply biblical truths to my life.
In 2023, I had the opportunity to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute on the Jeju campus. Coming into this, I thought that I knew a lot about the Bible and Christian life but I quickly realised that there were a lot of things that I didn't understand. I was completely amazed at how great God is but I was also confronted with my sinful nature. I quickly started to be overwhelmed by my depravity and I started to loose hope. However, I had the opportunity to meet with my dean of women and through many meetings and discussions, she helped me see what Jesus had really done on the cross and the hope that comes with that.
From that point on, I started learning how to truly live out my relationship with God and I started to grow a passion for ministry. My desire is to study biblical counselling and become a full time missionary. I want to invest in discipleship and in the lives of young women the same way I had people invest in me and showed me their love for Christ and His love for me.

Psalm 86v.11: "Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name."
