Miss Corinne


Hello!
My name is Corinne Paget & I am co-leading this mission trip to Bangladesh!! I will be graduating in May after three years of college. I am an accounting major and have accepted a position at an accounting firm in Irvine beginning July 19th-- Just weeks after flying home from South East Asia. I grew up in the Church and have been actively involved since a young age. My first overseas mission trip was during the summer of 2007. I traveled to Perth, Australia to help serve alongside WYAM. My other major mission trips include Mexico and Amsterdam. I am from Redding, in Northern California and I am the oldest of 4. I currently am an RA at APU and work at University Relations as the business intern.

The Lord pressed mission leadership on my heart during Missions Chapel. I chatted briefly with Justin at the information meeting, but I didn't know him at that time. I spoke with a mutual friend who later introduced me to Justin on his (the friend, Rory) own accord. I interviewed and everything fell into place. Interviews were phenomenal. Several applicants, including many boys, which I guess is unheard of :) And we found our perfect 8 and ta-da!!

This process has been life changing already. I absolutely adore everyone on my team members.
The Lord's hand is obvious in every area of our team and our plans. For instance, surprise! We're going to Nepal for 3 weeks :)

Story: Yesterday was my 21st Birthday. The evening prior was our team meeting & they surprised me with flowers, a poster card, and cake! &&& get this, the next day in the middle of my scavenger hunt I was lead to Justin's where an unbelievable painting was waiting just for me. Each color represented a team member & scripture of the importance of each member of the body and I cried :) and I received cards from many of them, so I cried more. Anyways, Justin, Angela, Lizzee, Callee, Taylor, Kyle, Eddy, Stephen, and Chris bless me every time I see them. If I could I would be with them every day all the time. God is just so good to me.

Prayer requests:
  • Great, constant communication.
  • Wisdom, guidance.
  • Acceptance and openness to what has not been experienced before
  • Time for Sabbath, prayer, and quality Jesus time.
