Dear Reader,
I am been thinking a lot about how I was going to share with you all this journey God is taking me on. It has been so hard to just be able to put it into words what the last couple of months has been like. So, I am just going to write whatever comes out.
God has been teaching awhole lot since I came back to the states in August and in December. I know when I came home in August that God had called me to the mission field but I knew to get there he would have to teach me a lot about ministry and my purpose in Ethiopia.
The number one thing God has been teaching me is ministry life. I never knew how exhausting, emotional and lonely it could be, But it is the most awarding and worth every heartache and every pain. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I find myself on my knees more seeking Gods face, trying to understand what he wants for the children of Ethiopia and my life.
I want so badly to be back home with the children. I want to hug them and kiss them. I want to take care of them if there sick or hungry. I want to teach them about their father that loves them, that he has a great destiny for their lives. I want them to know that God hears their cry's for help and knows the pain in their belly's. I want to wrap my arms around them, that they can feel the love of Jesus through me. My heart aches everyday for the orphans and street children of Ethiopia. I pray for their salvation. I want them so badly to understand how much God loves them.
I find myself trusting God more. Sometimes I don't have the answer to peoples questions they ask me about what I am doing in Ethiopia or HOW I will do something.I am putting my trust in him. He has everything planned to the detail for me. Also, having faith, not knowing is hard. Whenever I decided to give my life to Christ and serve in Ethiopia, I have been making choices on a leap of faith. I believe that Lord wants us to trust him enough that when he calls us to do something extraordinary things, we will
jump.
SO, I am taking a HUGE LEAP in Gods calling on my life and I am so glad that you are all apart of this journey.
Your Sister in Christ,
Rebecca
P.S. Please, Please pray for me on this journey as it gets harder with trying to raise funds and the enemy is attacking more then ever!!

Fundraising has begun...
It has been a long time since I have written a blog! I have missed getting to share with you everything that has been happening in my life. I have been so busy with trying to fundraise for my journey back to Ethiopia. I also got a full time job to help with some of my expenses.
So if your reading this, you can see that I have a new revised blog? Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!! I love it!! Thanks to Tiffany Darling! A dear dear sister in Chirst of mine, who I met through one of the street kids named Habtamu. She and her husband Jim have truly shown me the love of Jesus Christ by helping with my blog, prayer cards, and brochures. They have encouraged me greatly through this journey, and I can't thank my Savior enough for them. As you can see, they have adopted from Ethiopia, so we share the love of the same country. They have the greatest hearts! Tiffany has a wonderful blog about her adoption and life, it's a must read:) http://www.amomentcherished.com/. I know this won't be the last time you hear about them.
Fundraising has begun for me to get back and do the work God has called me to do. I hope that you all join me in this adventure. As you see I have a goal of $20,000 dollars along with a need for monthly supporters. My monthly support I have broken down. If I can get 5 churches to do 200 dollars a month and 50 people to do 25 dollars a month, I will meet my goal. I know that it seems like alot of money, but God knows whose hearts this will capture. Nothing is too big for Him! Please help me become a soul fighter for the children of Ethiopia. Even if you can't go, you are still helping by sending me. If you like to help look at my "Give" tab and coming soon is a pay pal button. You can alsosend me an email rebeccajbrown84@yahoo.com if you would like to help. I like to know all my supporters. I want to send you letters throughout the process of this:) in order to let you know how your money is helping the children of Africa. If you have any questions about what I am doing as well please ask. So let's watch God work!!
If you know any churches or organizations that would love to hear my story or be a part of God's work in Ethiopia, please let me know. I love to share God's story to others. We can all do this together, helping the children of Ethiopia. God calls us to help the orphans and widows. Everyone can play a part in this mission!
Much prayer needed during time of raising funds. Pray for open hearts,open minds, peace, clarity for others, words to say to others. Pray that the Holy Spirit shines through me when I tell His story:)
