SO MUCH GOODNESS!!

Hello Family!!
I hope you are all well and gearing up for the holiday season! I'm looking forward to hearing how you all are doing! I would love to touch base with you!

Well, these last few months in ministry school have been amazing! God is showing me so much about who He is and how He sees me. I am realizing that a lot of what I've believed about Him and about myself has only been head knowledge for me, but little by little it is traveling to my heart. I am making daily declarations about who I am in Jesus and allowing Him to break down A LOT of not so good walls that I have built to protect myself. I'm learning about trust and surrender, but most of all I am learning about joy and how to rest and receive from the Lord. I am growing daily and seeing a lot of good things in me that I've never seen before. I wish I could write out everything, but I could go on forever!! I promise to write more soon.

A new opportunity has been opened to me! I knew when I started the school here that I would be able to take a missions trip! I have been chosen to go to Ecuador. It's a small country in South America bordered by Peru and Colombia. My team will be traveling to four different cities visiting congregations that are just beginning to grow in Revival who are hungry for more of the supernatural and more revelation of God's goodness. I will be getting a chance to come along side of them and impart all I have received and learned from Jesus. Most importantly I will get a chance to love people and help them deepen their intimacy with God. I'll be stretched in preaching and teaching and using some of the new gifts God is developing in me. We will get a chance to visit hospitals and pray for people's healings and in a way we are going to reap fruit from the breakthrough of the teams that went before us and at the same time, because we will be visiting new cities, we are breaking new ground for the teams to come.

I'm super excited that I'm getting a chance to visit a new place and experience a different culture, but I can't do it without you. You have always been faithful to pray for me and that is what I need the most. Our first team meeting is on December 6th and I'm looking forward to meeting my team leader and all of my team mates. Please pray for team unity and honor as we get to know each other. Also, I wanted to ask if you would partner with me financially. I need to raise $1,800 by the beginning of February.

If God leads you to do so, you can donate to my trip by visiting www.ibssm.org. On that page you can click on "Give to BSSM". When you get to the next page, it will give you a list of 3 things you can give to. Choose the "Click here to donate to a student's missions trip". Once you click on that it will ask you type my name in the box. Once you do that, then click "Show Matches". It will then list all the Gina's in my school (there are only 3), just make sure you select my name. You will then be taken to a page where you can donate through your bank/debit card as long as it has a VISA/MATERCARD symbol. If online payment is not an option, you can always send a check to Bethel Church; ATTN: Bethel International; 933 College View Drive; Redding, CA 96003. Just make sure you write my name on the memo line of the check.

Thank you so much family! I'm excited for you to be able to continue with me on this new journey! Thanks in advance for helping me to be God's Hand extended to the people of Ecuador. I can't wait to see what He will do through our team!

More to come! Love you, Gina :)
