In just a few days I will continue to step out in faith and move to Ethiopia by their new year. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. Right now I am still needing people that are willing to support me monthly. I have been faithful to God during this time by stepping out, walking away from my job. It has been a test of my faith believing God for the big and small things in all of this. I do know that God is moved by faith and not by fear, desperation, anxious emotions, or by anything else. Just as one day last week a family was in need of a bed. They had seen my ad on craigslist and called me. They really did not have the money because they needed to pay other things too.
Well they shared their story with me and I did the same, then they got ready to pay me and as I was looking at the money that was being pulled out I started to get focused on my need to move and everything else. Well this thought went through my mind saying, "If you take that money, you will be making a big mistake!" so I thought about it and as I did I knew that it was God and I started focusing on their need. She went to give me the money to pay for the bed and I refused it. I told them that if I took that money then I would be making a mistake and I need a blessing to move to Ethiopia. They broke down and started crying, prayed and then they left.
Later on that night I was with some friends and shared that story with them. We had talked about how at times God puts on our hearts to give or do something for Him and we miss it. We ended up praying for my situation and in return I was blessed with a gift of $400. Now that is faith in action. That is what I mean that God is moved by faith and sowing into others. That is what God is looking for. Just as I sowed into this pastor and his wife, God returned to me double than what I in turn gave them. God is so good.
So I am asking you to seek the face of God and ask him how can you sow into what I am about to do with Mission Ethiopia. I am still looking for monthly supporters that are willing to support me monthly. I have just a few more days until my flight leaves. I have stepped out in faith believing God to fulfill His promises to me concerning this. I believe God has called me to Ethiopia with all of my heart. It is the only place I feel at home at. My heart and mind are there. I was asked the question and God forbid that it would happen, "What if things did not work out with you and Hanna? Would you up and leave just because?" My answer to that is no I would not up and leave. Like I had said, this is where my heart is. This is what I want to do and what I have wanted to do. So my heart belongs to God first and foremost, then to Hanna. I love her with all of my heart and I am very excited about the plans we have together and I believe with all of my heart that God is using all of this to get me to move, cause all I have been doing is waisting time and I am tired of waisting time. click here and watch this!
So I am asking you if you would move with me by faith. I believe God has called me to do this work with single mothers, widows, and orphans. I cannot do it without you at all. Just as God used me to fulfill a need with that family, God can use you to fulfill this need to bring hope and empowerment to single mothers, widows, orphans.
If you so choose to partner with me, let me first and foremost say thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This work cannot happen without you. If it could, then it would not be much of a sacrifice or a move of faith. If you choose to donate here is how:
I am needing monthly supporters. I am asking that monthly supporters just give $20 a month. Or if you would like to do one time donation you can do that too. All you have to do is click on one of the buttons on top of the page either wepay or paypal and you can make your donations there. Or if you want to send a check in you can do that by making it out to Belmont Church and put in the memo Christopher Fisher/Ethiopia and mail it to Belmont Church ATTN Rob Fraizer 68 music Sq. East Nashville, TN. 37203 Please email me at fisher.cmichael@gmail.com to let me know so I can keep track of what you are going to do and also so I can email you each month to share with you what God is doing.
Thank you again for your time and potential support.
