For years I had been praying the Lord would provide an associate
to help me in the areas of organization, communication and resources.
I made a detailed description of the skills and character needed,
and I kept praying - Then a "suddenly" occurred. Through a series
of divine appointments God brought us Carla, who met my "prayed
over" description-and then some.
Carla comes with work experience
in administration, office management, sales and finance. She most
recently comes to us from Redding where she trained and ministered
with Bethel Church in prayer, worship, healing and served as pastor
of the pre-school ministry. God has used her unique experiences
to grow her into a beautiful vessel-wonderfully prepared for kingdom
purposes.
Six months ago I began the enjoyable journey of knowing Carla & here's what I've discovered:
Carla is a wellspring of joy and laughter.
Her joyous laughter awakens, shocks, strengthens, brings heaven's
breakthrough and is contagious. I've watched Carla minister in loving
laughter and literally break off sadness with the joyful sound of
heaven. What a refreshing delight!
Carla is creative and childlike-song,
dance, painting, poetry all flow out of her intimacy with God and
His Word. The way she prays, works, and ministers are full of creativity,
newness and the unexpected. She is an explorer of color, sound,
movement and the senses-all so she can know and worship her Lord,
and help others do the same. She touches and releases the kingdom
because of her childlike manner. You can experience her creativity
by checking out her website: www.creativecarla.com--hear/read her
poetry and see some of her art. God has given her wonderful vision
for worship through the arts. Pray for release of this vision as
you experience her website.
Carla is a royal intercessor.
She's single minded in her pursuit of the King and intimacy with
Him. Her life is an adventure of knowing God so she can cooperate
with His purposes. Listening, sensing and dialoguing with Abba are
her intercession fuels. She desires to solve problems with "Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". She
has tenacious faith and is destined to be a world changer. I'm so
grateful God called her to be part of my life and the Napa Arise
ministry.
