Please see the 2013 Video for Association of Gospel Rescue Missions throughout the WORLD today. EVERYTHING I have today is GOOD because of what JESUS did for me in my life... For my LIFE is GOOD today... Really GOOD IN JESUS.
Just to share with you my own 'CALLING IN GOD' and what moves my heart in great PASSION and COMPASSION it is through Rescue Mission Ministry... I WILL NOT be emailing you again as we are ALL SUPER busy in life. But just wanted to share this with you.
Mark and I have been involved in this MINISTRY for 31 years. It is our very HEART CRY before God... in being a FRIEND to those who are poor / homeless / and living on the streets in society... When you watch this video - you understand my own heart...
My own life story in embracing JESUS as my Lord:
October 1977
One day as I was walking in the pouring down rain at about 10:00 pm and going to my POST at Red Lion Inn Saloon...
I was soaked from the rain... and I ended up dropping to the sidewalk and cried out 'If there truly is a GOD out there somewhere , then get me out of this mess. Here I am, 23 years old, been married twice, and I feel as though I am over 80 years old. Help me to live'... One week later, I went home with another stranger for the night, but the next morning was Sunday. I woke early and asked this person to leave. I had a friend who now was a JESUS FREAK so I called him to come and pick me up and take me to church. He drove the Sunday School bus to pick up children to bring to church. I stayed with him while he was doing this and after he dropped off the last child that day - He had a heart to heart talk with me and asked me 'Jane, what are you looking for in life.'... I started crying and said 'I just do not want to be hit any more. I want life'... I accepted JESUS as my Lord on that Sunday School bus and everything, and I mean everything became NEW FOR ME in life.
That was October 9, 1977.
On October 30, 1977 - I had been invited to a home church group and attended that evening. I had known a good man named Mark Fairchild a couple of years prior and this name came to my heart. I asked this group if they knew a Mark Fairchild. They all smiled and said 'yes, he usually is with us at this group, but tonight he is on call at Home Sweet Home Mission'... One of the girls gave me Mark's phone number and encouraged me to call him.
October 31, 1977 - I called Mark. He remembered me and invited me to come and see him that evening. Mark shared God's Word with me and gave me supper (as I had not eat anything for 3 days)...
Mark was a Godly man. He had even saved himself for sex for marriage only to the right person that the Lord brought his way. He was a 'counselor' at Home Sweet Home Rescue Mission.
At this time I was pregnant and had a scheduled abortion facing me ahead... This Home Church Group embraced me and helped me to make the decision to not have another abortion. But I ended up in the Emergency room facing death as I not only miscarried but I was in the very last stages of EVERY street disease possible and I was facing death's door. Mark was the only person that stood by my side. As when you watch this video I have posted - you also will SEE ME at one time...
The day after Christmas 1977 - as Mark I were in Rescue Mission Chapel having a Bible study at 11:45 pm that night - Mark asked me to become his 'bride'.. He did not even love me at that time but the Lord spoke to his heart to marry me and cover me... (As Boaz with Ruth in the Bible)...
We married February 18, 1978.
At first it was hard and rough for Mark being married to me as I was all over the place... But today our marriage is so very solid and good. Our marriage is based on God's Word, prayer, and commitment and today YES - Mark truly loves me. He tells me every morning before he leaves for work - He wakes me, kisses me, and says 'You are my princess, I love you'... Mark is my treasure in life.
Our calling in God is Rescue Mission Ministry and we have been involved with this ministry work for 31 years ... Mark formerly had been the Executive Director at Albuquerque Rescue Mission in New Mexico and I worked alongside of Mark from 1989 to 2005.
Rescue Mission Ministry originally began in Scotland in 1826 as a Christian outreach to the poor of society. This ministry then traveled over to the nation of Australia where Britain sent their prisoners. Then this ministry traveled to America.
The Founders in America were Jerry and Maria McAuley. Jerry had been a part of the original gangs of NYC. Maria had been a prostitute and ran a brothel house of prostitution in NYC. They both came to know JESUS as their Lord, repented of their sins, and GOD made all things new in their lives. They married. The prostitutes would attend the local churches but were shunned or asked to leave. So Jerry and Maria heard this need and every Sunday morning they brought CHURCH to them in the brothel houses and set up church services. The broken women would repent and embrace the love of Jesus but they had no where to live outside of these brothel houses as people would not rent to them because of their background. So once again Jerry and Maria heard the need and they went out and purchased an old warehouse building and they provided 24 hour day / 7 days a week, shelter, food, clothing, HOPE, and the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST to thge broken women to come and live and be restored.

A well known HYMN WRITER named Fanny Crosby - she was blind but she volunteered often at the Rescue Mission and she purposed to smell and sit right next to the most foulest smelling person off the streets to share about God's love and hope to that person. Please read about her at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_CrosbyRescue missions
Manuscript of Crosby's "The Rescue Band" (1895)
While Crosby will probably always be best known for her hymns, she wanted to be seen primarily as a rescue mission worker. According to Keith Schwanz: "At the end of her life, Fanny’s concept of her vocation was not that of a celebrated gospel songwriter, but that of a city mission worker. In an interview that was published in the March 24, 1908, issue of the New Haven Register, Fanny said that her chief occupation was working in missions.[79] Although, according to Schwanz: "Many of Fanny’s hymns emerged from her involvement in the city missions",[79] including "More Like Jesus" (1867);[246] "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour" (1868);[247] and "Rescue the Perishing" (1869),[248] which became the "theme song of the home missions movement",[249] and was "perhaps the most popular city mission song", with its "wedding of personal piety and compassion for humanity".[250] Crosby celebrated the rescue mission movement in her 1895 hymn, "The Rescue Band".[251][252]
As Crosby had lived for decades in such areas of New York City as Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, The Bowery, and The Tenderloin, she was aware of the great needs of immigrants and the urban poor, and was passionate to help those around her through urban rescue missions and other compassionate ministry organizations. Crosby indicated "from the time I received my first check for my poems, I made up my mind to open my hand wide to those who needed assistance".[253] Throughout her life, Crosby was described as having "a horror of wealth", never set prices to speak, often refused honoraria, and "what little she did accept she gave away almost as soon as she got it".[254] After her marriage, Crosby "had other priorities and gave away anything that was not necessary to their daily survival".[35] The Van Alstynes also organized concerts, with half the proceeds given to aid the poor.[255] Throughout New York City, Crosby's sympathies for the poor were well-known, but consisted primarily of indirect involvement by giving contributions from the sale of her poems, and by writing and sending poems for special occasions for these missions to the dispossessed, as well as sporadic visits to those missions.[256]

Thanks for HEARING ME from SILENCE...
Jane
So, Jane born 100% human, and Jane will die 100% human, as there will NEVER be one human being perfect except for ONE - and HIS NAME is above ALL other names as HIS NAME IS JESUS...
When I fail, when I fall down, when I make mistakes, when I act out in my 100% human being flesh... I run into the LOVING PROTECTIVE arms of JESUS who will CHANGE my heart in Him as I struggle with my own SIN before Him...
Love - a Lady Bug Friend in a huge gigantic Oak Tree nestled next to the FLOWING RIVER of God's Mercy from His Throne...
Me, Jane
Not maybe seen by your eyes as having any worth or value... but seen by GOD's eye of great worth and value - HIS TREASURE - A diamond made out of dark dirty coal... Jane, A diamond in God...
WHO JANE IS - A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH THAT GOD AND MARK FOUND BURIED IN THE COAL
