Life in Ethiopia

I am not sure if I let you know what I did in Ethiopia! Here it is..

I put together a bible study class at my house

I feed them lunch

I did this 4 days a week. 

Also let some of the kids teach as well

This is Chekol aka Chocolate! He wants to be a pastor when grows up. He so much loves Jesus. We would do prayer request at the end of the day and he would always say "I want to glorify God in everything I do."  Amazing boy!! Please pray for him!

Also did artwork :) 

We went to buy shoes for the kids. First time shopping for shoes for them. They didn't know which pair to choose.

We got to redo a home :)

Drank coffee of course. IT'S Ethiopia!

Hand washed my clothes. People this takes all day and then days for your clothes to dry:) Lol 

We sang!

We went to church! I miss Beza church and the worship!

We also partied!! 

And we danced

 We went swimming

No big deal, there just monkeys in the trees here:) 

This was my view from my window

Just add this picture because he is so CUTE!!!! 

So many sweet memories! I will never forget my time in Ethiopia or these kids. There always in my heart! I hope I left a little bit of Jesus's love with them.

New Beginnings

Hello!!

Have you missed me:)

I know, I know, I know I have been missing for months now, but I am back with a brand new blog!

What do you think?

This blog is going to be more about me and my life, so I can share more with you. I am still working out some problems I am having, but soon it will be complete.

New Beginnings for me this year...

 As you all know I spent the last 2 years helping the street children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I went through a lot of trails, pain and cried a lot to make this choice... but I feel that my time in Ethiopia has come to an end:( I hope that one day I can share with you my time I had last summer/fall. I know that I will always visit Ethiopia, so I can continue planting seeds in hearts and keep in touch with relationships I have there. Its still like my second home:)

So, I have been praying about where God is leading me now in my life.
I know I am called to do mission work in this world and I have been praying about where I should go next to do ministry. So I am excited to announce to you where God is leading me .........

KENYA

Well, Now the question is where or what will I do?? That is a great question. I have friends who have lead me to some places that they have worked at in the past in Kenya. I have been making some connections and praying through them all.

One place that has spoke to my heart in called Agape Hope Center www.agapehope-childrencenter.com. They have a school,orphanage, feeding and sponsorship programs and are in desperate need of help. I feel this is a place to share Gods love and the gospel message.

So this leads me to my next step...

I feel I need to make what I like to call a VISION trip to Kenya. I want to go for 3 weeks to check out ministries in Kenya. I want to become more familiar with the ministries and see if they are a perfect match for what God is calling me to do:) 

So my plan is to go to Kenya and Ethiopia July/Aug 2013. I have some friends that served with me last summer and really want to serve the street kids again. The plan is to spend a couple of days in Ethiopia to enroll/ pay for kids school fees for the up coming year and minister by telling them the gospel message. Then fly to Kenya to work at Agape Hope Center serving the least of these. My friends that are coming with have served before at Agape Hope Center and really loved it.


Sooooooo this is where you,  all that believe in me and really want to help me with what I am doing come in.

I need to raise $3,500 dollars for my VISION trip to Kenya/Ethiopia.

I feel like it such short notice, but I know if its Gods will there will be a  away. I need to raise $2000 in one month to get my plan ticket. The longer I wait the more expensive it gets. The rest of the money is just expenses for living and food.

If you like to help me get to Kenya to help me minister to God's children. There is donate button located on this page or email me rebeccajbrown84@yahoo.com

Also the number one thing you could do is pray for me. I need clarity, guidance for God will and to make the right choices on this new journey God has me on.

Really couldn't do any of this with out any of you!! You have BELIEVED in me and my calling and that means more to me then anything:) 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Let the fundraising begin....
