Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Dobbe. First, can I just say that God is SO GOOD - I cannot believe this trip is now a reality! I am SO looking forward to it and am praying for opened eyes and a heart to serve. As I have become more obedient in my faith I have strove to follow God's will for my life. I'm willing to be a servant of God; there is no doubt in my mind that He has called me to work for Him. I recently read this quote, "If your dream does not involve changing the course of somebody's eternal destiny, then your dream is too small." I fully believe this and my hope is that God will use us on this mission and in the future for His glory. I went through a season in my life of much rebellion, but God faithfully and loving me brought me back. I understood for the first time what it meant to be redeemed by His blood - that I was bought with a price, that my life was not my own, and that Jesus didn't just want to be my Savior, but the Lord of my life and the lover of my soul. And that's when everything changed for me. What else...herbal tea is my favorite, I love Nickel Creek and other amazing bluegrass music, and I love studying God's Word - it is alive and deep and anything but tame. I can't wait to spend an amazing two months serving alongside you all! :)
