Rev. Dr. Virginia Asel

Rev. Dr. Virginia Asel is better known simply as Ginger. She has been in active ministry for over 50 years as pastor (Easton Pentecostal Church; First and Second Congregational Churches of Royalston, MA), conference center co-founder/co-director; conference and retreat speaker. She is an international speaker who has held seminars in Africa, India, South America, Guatemala, and Asia.  She is president and founder of Haven of Hope Missions.​

Her passion is to study and disclose the deeper mysteries hidden in the Word of God.  Yet she can make the best known biblical stories come to life with life applications.  Her delivery style has been called dynamic and dramatic. This gifting is from the Lord.  Her initial prayer when called into the ministry at the age of 13 was, “Please Lord, keep me in the truth and don’t let me be boring.”  God has been faithful to answer that prayer. She believes in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit to change lives.

Ginger did her undergraduate work at Zion Bible College (presently North Point Bible College) and North Central Bible College.  Her graduate studies were completed at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Ginger has published two books.  Four and No More: Ezekiel’s Introduction to the Gospels, relating the fourfold ministry of Christ (one of her favorite subjects!)  The History of the First Congregational Church of Royalston is the complete history of the church which parallels the historic background of the founding of the Unites States and, in particular, the State of Massachusetts.
