GO Week: Anna Cristian Bastidas

We’re continuing in our annual GO Series, a week focused on God’s work and mission in our world, whether it’s across the street or around the globe. We were blessed to hear from Ana Cristina Bastidas, a missionary and teacher with a passion for discipleship and entrepreneurship. Born and raised in Ecuador but trained right here at Bethel University, Ana returned to Ecuador to see her fellow Ecuadorians connect intimately to God through discipleship. In addition to her discipleship activities, Ana also teaches business courses to women in vulnerable situations in partnership with Creative Women of the World. She also ministers in local prisons, refugee shelters, and in her local church. In her free time, Ana enjoys beach volleyball, playing with her little dog, Maya, and spending time with her family.
