My name is Gina Boeding, and I am beginning my fourth year as a missionary with FOCUS. This is also my fourth year serving at Valpo and second year as the Team Director of FOCUS missionaries. In May of 2019, I graduated from Loras College with a degree in Social Work. Thrifting, coffee, live music, and Miranda Sings are a few of my favorite things. I am most excited to see how God uses you and me, and our ever-growing lives of discipleship, to bring new people into relationship with Him. Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity, a Carmelite nun from the early 1900s, is my favorite saint. She was wild and raging as a child but grew up to be a cheerful, scatterbrained young adult with rather large feet (so relatable!). Saint Elizabeth had a profound prayer life and wrote extensively on the reality that God dwells in her baptized soul, therefore, she has constant access to Heaven on earth. Look her up!
