Be A World Changer

Hey guys,

Honesty time.

I'm feeling really discouraged. I'm doubting if God even wants me here still. Aside from a friend and my mother, nobody has said "yes" to seeing the lives of Irish youth changed. Nobody has sent me an encouraging message or email. It has been. Dead. Silence.
I feel like I'm shouting in a room full of people with a mega phone but everyone is deaf. It's rather difficult to not look at the numbers. I don't care about the numbers. I care what they represent. I have to keep reminding myself that people have said "yes" to prevention of sex trafficking in Cambodia. They've said "yes" to the first six months of this trip, to keeping Irish teens safe. And that it's down to the wire of either buying a plane ticket home or sticking it out and having faith that they will say "yes' again. That you will say "yes" again.

Anyone can fly to a third world country and build someone a house, to care for someone's physical needs. But it takes much longer to care for someone's mental and emotional needs. It takes months. Years. At first it just seems like I'm playing Uno or making bracelets with teenagers, but building relationships takes time. The coffee dates and long talks and tears and laughter don't happen right away. But you know what does happen right away? When these kids have a place to go to hang out three times a week instead of (for some of them) overdosing on drugs or drinking themselves into a stupor (like I used to). It breaks my heart when I see this stuff happen.
But at the same time, I'm so happy that these teens have chosen to hang out at the Rock or the Anchor or any other youth centre in Ireland.
It's literally a choice of life or death in some cases.

And that's why I'm here on your behalf. This isn't about me It's about them. The future of Ireland. Of the world. These kids are world changers. And so are you.
It is going to cost approximately $1500 CDN a month to stay here and invest in these teens on your behalf. So far, $600 of that is covered. Thank you, Jesus. I have complete faith that Jesus is going to cover the rest of that. If you would like to partner with me in this adventure, feel free to contact me via email (sf.rochel@gmail.com) or on Facebook (Sarah Faithe).

Here's to many more lives changed.
Cheers.
