I am moving to California to study at the Bethel School of Ministry, where I will learn how to make my faith radically practical.

Canterbury

In September 2016 I'm moving to Redding, California to study at Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM).

After reading the book 'When Heaven Invades Earth' a few years ago I started to believe that we owe the world an encounter with God and this is what the school is all about; your faith becoming radically practical.

America has been in my heart ever since I can remember. If you've been following the likes of 'Azusa Now' or the 'The Call' you'll know it's a pretty special time in the history of America. For years I've been following Bethel Church and now I really feel like God has called me to go there in the next season of my life.

I believe the BSSM is one of the best ministry schools in the world and particularly unique. In this school I know I will grow in confidence in myself and in my calling and living out the supernatural lifestyle. I also I feel that I will be equipped to strengthen the church and equip others where ever I go.

I'm looking for a lot of people to give a little. $5 or $10 would all make an impact. Even if you skipped one coffee for one week it all adds up.

I've paid my school deposit, visa fees and bought my flight over there. I am currently saving and selling all that I own but unfortunately that won't cover all costs (living in California is not cheap and the NZ dollar isn't doing well against the American dollar). The restrictions of the visa for international students means that I am unable to work while I am over there.

In order to get my visa for America I need proof of funds of $4100 USD for tuition fees and $7200 USD for living expenses. Amazingly God has already provided a way to cover my student loan repayments while I am overseas.

If you wanted to contribute to something America based (or something more directly) there is a link on School of Supernatural Ministry website where you can contribute directly to my school fees if you wish to do so here:https://my.bssm.net/donations/transactions/new?student=254894

There is no pressure to give but please at least pray for me and prayerfully consider partnering with me in supporting me to go to Bethel.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my journey.

Visa Approved  1 May 2016

Hi Everyone!!

Just an update on my journey going to Bethel. I went up to Auckland this last weekend past to go for the interview at the American Consulate to get my visa. I'm really stoked to say my visa was approved and it arrived in the mail yesterday (particularly handy since I already bought a flight there :p). Thanks so much for your support and your prayers. My visa quite likely wouldn't have got approved without your help!

At this stage I'm just saving and continuing to fundraise until I go in September. I don't have all the funds at this stage but God has done a few miracles (like almost erasing my student loan which was not small) as well. He continues to prove Himself faithful and I'm excited to see the next few months unfold.

God bless you!

Love from

Anna
