Hi Everyone, 

My name is Carmen Bellinger. I'm someone who is pretty quiet, but adventurous and loves to have fun. I'm originally from Washington, DC and currently live in California. I started serving with Adventures In Missions since 2013, and since 2017, I've been serving in the mission field with Beauty for Ashes. I love working with women and children, which is who the Lord has blessed me to work with.

I'm looking forward to continuing my journey from short term missions to long term missions while the Lord's Will, not mine, will be done. As the Lord Jesus is preparing me for long term missions, I'm seeing Him bring healing: Within my family, with my friends, and within myself. God is amazing and it is a privilege to b able to serve Him and allow Him to take the lead. 

I will be blogging before and during my trips. I hope all of you are well and continue to stay strong in service to Christ. 

Serving with a purpose, 

Carmen
