2012 recap video

Hi Everyone!

 A quick update with some new information on donations:
 To make donations online that are tax-deductible please go to www.fathershand.net  and you can pay through the donate button (credit, debit, paypal) on the website. In order to specify that the funds go to me, please email Neil Gamble at ngamble07@yahoo.com to let him know you made a deposit for me ("Christina' s Missions" or "Papua New Guinea")  and that will be transferred to my account. :)
Thank you so much for your patience as I'm learning in this whole process :)

Also, just wanted to share with you this video of the 2012 recap for the ship. It helps explain the mission and heart of the ship.There are some startling statistics about the conditions in Papua New Guinea and how many people the ship has been able to help ( which I get to be a part of!)   Click on the link below to watch. Enjoy! :)

Many Thanks,
God bless,

Update on donation info: the nitty gritty of dollars and cents

Good afternoon Everyone!

 Thank you so much to all of you who came on Saturday to hear and see a wee bit of Papua New Guinea! I was so honored to share my story with you and show you the videos. I had so much fun, and it gets me excited and refuels my passion for what I'm going to be doing when I go back. :)

Thank you to those who have been praying for me and asking how I'm doing: I'm happy and grateful to report that I have a job!!!!! It's been such a blessing to be at Riverview Care Center in Spokane, working on-call. Not only do I get paid (yay!!!! saving money for Australia and Papua New Guinea) but I get to brush up on my nursing skills and be a blessing to the residents there!!!

Lack of education leaves many people believing
 "magic" is the cause of  sickness and disease. This poster
explains "TB is not caused by sorcery, but by contagious germs."

Even though I'm working, I am still raising support to go (as a full time volunteer) to Australia and Papua New Guinea for two and a half years. Many of you have been asking me how to do that and I wanted to give you an update on the latest info I have.

 All of you who are reading this are a vital part of this great adventure. Finances are a part of me returning to Australia and Papua New Guinea but so is prayer and words of encouragement; You may not realize it but even the smallest things such as following my blog is so uplifting to me. So I thank you for any way that you are able to journey with me.

 I am so grateful for all of you who are supporting me and you who have been incredibly kind and generous with your finances and donating to the mission I am embarking on. You are not only supporting me, but you are helping to change a nation by bringing much needed health care and hope to those in desperate need.

 Poverty is devastating to those who experience it,  but we want to bring hope
as our ship motto comes from John 10:10 "I WANT TO LIVE"

 Currently, because I will be based in Townsville, Australia, what is donated through YWAM is not tax- deductible. For tax-deductible donations, please write a check to "Father's Hand Ministries" and leave the subject line blank (VERY IMPORTANT- DON'T PUT MY NAME IN THE SUBJECT LINE) but attach a post-it or note that says "for Christina" and it will be transferred to me. Then please mail it to:

 Father's Hand Ministries
 4620 A Bellstar RD
Clayton, WA 99110

 If you don't need the tax credit, and/or would like to support me monthly, I have direct deposit, or you can make an online donation directly at www.ywamrto.org/payment


I'll keep you updated as I find out more!
 Have a blessed week!
 Until next time,
Christina :)
