'Soul Surfer' news
I’ve heard a lot of people talk about the faith-themed movie “Soul Surfer” in the last few weeks since the film made it to the big screen.
The movie tells the true story of young surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack, and her return to surfing afterwards.
Well, in the middle of everything else going on last week, I got a chance to talk with Sarah Hill, the young woman who was Hamilton’s youth ministry leader and friend at North Shore Christian Church in Kauai, Hawaii.
In “Soul Surfer,” Oklahoma’s own Carrie Underwood portrays Hill.
Hill visited Oklahoma City to speak at the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma’s women’s conference April 15-16 at Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center near Davis. The conference was held the same weekend as the Women of Joy conference at the Jim Norick State Fair Arena.
I covered Sarah Palin’s presentation at the Women of Joy conference and I know there were thousands of women there. I know some of them might not have been able to attend the Baptist conference because of that.
