Tracey Gust

Tracey served as a Maranatha missionary with ESI/TeachOverseas in Hungary (2002-2008), where she taught English full-time in the Hungarian public high school system. While attending Calvary Chapel Budapest, she participated in the weekly English Bible Study Home Fellowship and helped teach Sunday School. Then the Lord moved her to Italy. Following six months of attending an Italian language school full-time in Milan and Florence, the Lord brought her to Treviso (2009-2011), an historical walled medieval town about 25 miles north of Venice. At Calvary Chapel Treviso, a small international congregation, Tracey attended the midweek Italian Bible Study, monthly prayer meeting, and monthly Women’s Bible Study. She served on the church leadership team and helped with hospitality, teaching Sunday School, and co-leading The English Club outreach to adults in the community.

In December 2011, the Lord moved Tracey to an industrial town located at the foot of the Italian pre-Alps (population 20,000) about 30 minutes north of Treviso. She’s serving on the Bible College team at Calvary Chapel Montebelluna, an international congregation of approximately 80 adults (plus lots of children!) where Italian is the main language spoken.

As a tentmaker, Tracey teaches English on a freelance basis through language schools and private lessons. Amongst her students have been university students, homemakers, business owners, government employees, police officers, lawyers, and judges. She is always praying that as she builds relationships with the locals, the Lord will provide opportunities to share her testimony and daily walk with Him so that others may come to know the real Jesus in this traditionally Roman Catholic culture.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
