Gina transferred to USC from the Inland Empire campus ministry in Riverside 3 years ago. Since her arrival, she has been one of the greatest sources of joy and inspiration of our lives. She excelled academically and spiritually in her time as a Trojan undergrad. Gina became a leader amongst her engineering peers and also raised up to leadership in the ministry. She received her degree in December of last year.
After graduation, Gina was offered an $80k engineering position. After much prayer, advice, fasting and deliberation, she decided instead to take a very low paying internship with the central region campus ministry. Since then her sacrifice has been richly rewarded with a treasure trove of fruit, friendship and maturity.
When the fundraised money for the internship ran out, Gina moved in with us, was hired as a part-time tutor and kept helping with the campus at Cal State LA. Her continual commitment and undying love for this ministry is unparalleled. It is because of that heart that Gina is now being hired by our sister church in Las Vegas to lead the women of the campus ministry at UNLV.
Although we will miss her tremendously and will never be able to replace her, we are proud to send her out. It is, and should be, the nature of campus ministry to convert, train and send out leaders into the church wherever the need may be. It is our biblical mandate and our spiritual legacy to raise up disciples to do even greater things than we could. Gina, go with our love and blessing. May God continue to bless your sacrifice with the desires of your heart.
