Welcome!

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" ~ Romans 10:14-15

The purpose of this blog is to share information about my upcoming mission trip to Ghana, West Africa and, Lord willing, future mission trips.  On this site I plan to share prayer requests and different things God has spoken to me specifically about the trips I have gone on or am anticipating in the future.

I guess it would be a good idea to start with a little bit of information about myself.  My name is Crystal and I'm currently a grad student at Regent University's School of Divinity.  I graduated last May from the College of William and Mary with a double major in Psychology and Elementary Education.  Until around March or April of last year I believed I would be teaching in an elementary school this year.  God, however, had other plans and I started at Regent in Fall 2010.  And it is amazing how God has blessed my obedience in coming back to school when I was really ready to be done with school for a while!

Since coming to Regent God has rebirthed an intense passion for mission work.  Many years ago God told me I would serve in the mission field, but as many of us do, I put it so far back on a shelf I almost lost it!  God never forgot what He told me though and He has taken the last year to remind me of that calling.

There is so much I want to share about what God has spoken to me concerning this upcoming trip to Ghana and His call on my life in general, but for the sake of time I'll convey those thoughts in a future post.  For the time being, please be praying for the planning of the mission trip that will take place in May 2011 to Ghana, West Africa.  Also be praying for another trip to Europe in July 2011 that I am assisting in planning.  Pray God's anointing on those going and for open doors and open hearts wherever we go.

God bless.
