My friend Bing has just landed in Moldova for a year of serving God in whatever capacity He needs — working with orphanages, mentoring young girls, and all manner of other ways. She graduated from Belmont University this spring and while most of her (former) classmates are settling into their new careers and getting used to a descent paycheck, Bing is half-way around the world working for Jesus and living off donations from fellow Followers.

Bing’s heart is bigger than Russia and she fills it up completely with
people. She loves all shapes, sizes, colors and kinds — but especially
little people (we call them "children"). She’s also incredibly intelligent — brilliant, really — and very witty and charming. You just can’t help but fall in love with her the moment you meet her. She is A-mazing.

Bing’s been to Moldova multiple times (our church has yearly trips; this year there were a record 65 people on the three teams that served two weeks in three cities in Moldova) but started feeling God tugging on her heart to spend a year there earlier this year. I am so excited and so proud of her for taking this huge step of faith and following Jesus to this little corner of eastern Europe. I know God is going to blow her mind with all He does while she’s there. I can’t wait to hear about it all!!

Do me a favor… check out her fresh new blog and maybe leave her a quick encouraging comment — and then add her to your blog reader, or weekly blog reading list. You will not be disappointed, I promise.
