A New Adventure!

I feel passionate. I feel peace. I feel ready!

For this next season of my life, I have decided to attend Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA. I am so encouraged by people I have met while deciding to do this and I feel that God is preparing my heart by expelling fear and giving me a hunger for more of Him. Before graduating from Eastern, I felt that my post-grad season needed to be something that engaged my heart with God. To me, that means worship. I wanted to just worship God and get to know Him more. I feel as though He is already allowing me to do that. Out of my desire for Him he has shown me how I can get to know Him more and He has shown me the time that I can set aside for Him. Going to Bethel is for this same reason. I want to set aside this next year to engage my heart to worship Him while, also, receiving tools and being equipped to be sent out into the world. My desire for future ministry is to be so wrapped up in His love that people's ears are opened to His heartbeat by their own personal encounter with His love. I feel confident that Bethel's school can prepare me for that and they can set a foundation for my vision for ministry.

Listening to faith-driven lovers of God the last month have encouraged me in what I need to do to prepare for Bethel. The biggest thing I need is prayer. I am moving across the country, which is a bit scary for me. I need a job in Redding. And I need to find an apartment. All of these things I know God will provide in time, but I would love to have people to support me in prayer and I want to communicate to my community the ways you can be supporting me. As a person who feels called to do ministry in the future, I feel I need to start getting better at communicating with the body of people who are supporting me from long distances.

So far God is being so faithful in getting me to Redding. I have found wonderful encounters with friends and strangers (now friends!) that have encouraged me in my journey to Bethel. God has provided more hours at work in the past week which is so great for saving money.

I pray that my time at Bethel is encouraging for others and that it doesn't just effect me, but the people around me.

Love to you all! And if you read all of this, THANK YOU! :) If you have any questions about the details of Bethel, please e-mail me at eascheihing@gmail.com or facebook message me!
