The beginning...

Dear Family & Friends,

I am very honored to share with you about an internship I received for May 2010-April 2011. I applied to be part of Global Ministry Teams (GMT), which is a missions based organization in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

GMT has been in ministry service for over 30 years. With partnerships all over the world, GMT has been able to train leaders, impact nations and develop social relief care among some of the world most restricted access nations. With a presence in the continents of Africa, Australia, America, South East Asia, Europe and the Middle East, GMT’s continues to fulfill it’s main objective to mobilize, train and release this generation to share The Gospel with those who have never heard.

As an intern I will begin my journey by completing an intensive 9-week G.E.T. (Global Evangelism Training) in Malaysia. After completion I will be placed according to my gifting and calling with GMT networks worldwide. I will be placed in a country for 4-months to share the gospel as well as work on community development, language skills and serve where I am needed. I will return to Malaysia for Christmas and the New Year to be with the GMT family. Shortly after the New Year I will go out into my second placement for 4-months and complete the same tasks.

I am excited about this new journey in my life. I will graduate from Converse College on May 15, 2010 with a BS in International Business and BA in Spanish. As many of you know I have always had a heart for the nations and want to make a difference. The estimated cost of the trip is approximately $15,000. As a young soon to be graduate $15,000 is a lot of money. I am fundraising in a 3-month period in which most people spend at least 12-months fundraising.

Through this decision making process my parents’ council was important to me in this decision and I have spoken with them and they are supportive of my decision. I have also prayed about whether this is what the Lord wants me to do for a season and I feel complete peace about it. Therefore, I am trusting the Lord to provide during this prepartion.

It would be greatly appreciated for you to be in prayer and support with me on this new journey in my life. My immediate needs are buying a flight and paying for first month expenses and G.E.T. training. A one time or monthly donations are accepted and both appreciated. If you are interested in giving, please e-mail me at ginalmcbride@gmail.com

Again, thank you for your support, prayerfully and financially. If you would like to find out more information about GMT ministries please look at the following links:
