RESCUE MISSION MINISTRY - OUR PASSION CALL FROM GOD

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.

The first Rescue Mission that began in America through Jerry and Maria was called 'Bowery Street Rescue Mission'... Today it is called 'New York City Rescue Mission' and this work began in America in 1872.  Today there are 100's of Rescue Mission Ministries throughout the world, including Israel.

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_Crosby

Rescue 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]

I am honored to be called to such a Ministry and that the Lord would choose me to reach out to the broken on the streets.

This is my STORY in life...

Please read my own writing of ME

WHO JANE IS - A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH THAT GOD AND MARK FOUND BURIED IN THE COAL

http://janefairchildblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/who-jane-is-in-christ-and-through-eyes.html

Thanks for HEARING ME from SILENCE...

Jane

Yes, I am a NO BODY... probably the size of a lady bug in a huge gigantic Oak Tree where no body sees me but I am there...  But GOD sees me...  and GOD even hears my SILENCE and GUESS WHAT - God accepts me just where I am today as I am forever changing before HIM...  (As I share with others...  You know - I was born 100% human being...  with great failures and great weakness in my flesh... and on this earth I struggle with this flesh as a 100% human being... (Just like King David, he struggled with his flesh and the sin born within man all the time as even King David, 'a man after God's own heart' failed, tripped up, fell down, committed adultery, had the husband of Bathsheba sent to the front lines of war knowing that this man would be killed, and David lied, and he too was 100% human - but God looked at David as a man after God's heart...  The difference with David 100% human and flesh was that David with his struggles would RUN straight into God's loving arms of Mercy and Compassion to struggle and deal wit his SIN before God until David's heart turned back to God... This is what made David a man after God's heart...

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 IS BABYLON? IS BABYLON ROME OR IS BABYLON AMERICA?

Who is Babylon?
28 facts to consider.

First of all - I never intend to argue SCRIPTURE for none of us are 100% accurate.   All we can do is seek God's Word individually and find out ourselves.

 I am not here to convince anyone if Rome is the true Babylon or if America is the true Babylon...
(Personally I hear many on Rome, and I also hear many on America as Babylon...  so I too need to search God's Word)
I am only giving out questions to study and seek.  If you believe that ROME is the true Babylon this is okay... but if you believe that AMERICA is the true Babylon then this too is okay...

The only thing for you is not to become tangled up with the culture of Babylon and to remain pure before the Lord Jesus Christ.

Would anyone like to guess which modern day nation fits this description in every way – Politically, economically , geographically, militarily, religiously?

The titles on this site are:

Babylon - Symbolic name for Rome
More than Rome

Who is Babylon? (Is it The United States)

Babylon as described in scripture represents several things. It is a religious system. It is an economic system. It is a military power, and it is a political system. All of these things were true of original

Babel under Nimrod. He incorporated a false religious system into his political and military kingdom. This false religious system was spread throughout the earth when God confounded the language and scattered the people at the tower of Babel.

The next incarnation of Babylon was under Nebuchadnezzar. Under him Babylon was the most powerful kingdom on the earth. God used Babylon to take his apostate people captive during the time of Daniel. After 70 years,

Babylon was conquered by Cyrus the Great of Persia. Cyrus then allowed a remnant of God’s people to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and ultimately the city.

There have been many incarnations of Babylon throughout history. Some have been greater types and some lesser. All kingdoms that have ruled or sought to rule the world have been types and shadows of  Babylon. Some of these kingdoms would include the ancient Roman Empire and the British empire of the 18 and 19^th centuries. Hitler’s short lived Third Reich was a lesser type of Babylon. And there is today a kingdom in the earth that embodies the traits of
Babylon in virtually every way.

Jeremiah prophesied that Babylon would be destroyed and would be desolate forever. Many believe this prophecy was fulfilled when Mede-Persian Empire under Cyrus defeated
Babylon but that is not entirely true. Geographic Babylon has never been completely desolate. Even today the land (modern day Iraq) is inhabited and upon the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon the United States is currently building a large military base.

In the broadest sense Babylon is a type of the whole world which lies outside the kingdom of God.  It represents the worlds system or mans way of doing things. B ut there is also a lesser type  of Babylon in the world today.

Lets go a little further here and see if we can identify the city/nation that is end times
Babylon.

Lets start with Rev 18:17 – Babylon has a deep water port

And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Geographic Babylon (modern day Iraq) has no deep water port, so this Babylon in Revelation must be different from ancient Babylon

Babylon has Gods people within it. Is 47:6

But

Gods heritage has been destroyed Jer 50:11
Gods people have been led astray by false shepherds Jer 50:6
Gods people are swallowed up in a false religious system Jer 51:44

Geographically Babylon sits upon “many waters” Jer 51:13
and is abundant in natural resources Jer 51:13

The people of Babylon are a mingled people Jer 51:53
They are a proud people Jer 50:31-32
They feel they are invincible Is 47:8
They are a people of seemingly great wisdom & knowledge Is 47:10
They are filled with graven images and idols Jer 50:38
They have many astrologers, sorcerers and monthly prognosticators Is 47:13

Babylon is described as “the hammer of the whole earth” Jer 50:23
Babylon uses the eagle as a national symbol Dan 7:4, Ezek 17:3, 12
Babylons mother was the lion (England) Jer 51:38
Babylon is a “destroying mountain” Jer 51:25
It is full of “mighty men” & men of war Jer 51:30 & 32
Babylon even has a “space program” Jer 51:53

Babylon is the greatest merchant nation on the earth Rev 18:3
All the nations of the earth do business with her Rev 18:11
Babylon trades in every type of commodity Rev 18:12-13

At the time of her destruction
Babylons people are drunken and asleep Jer 51:39 & 57
She is filled with traitors Jer 51:2 & 14
They dwell without care Is 47:8
They don’t realize they are Babylon Jer 50:24 & Is 47:8

Babylon has oppressed Israel Jer 50:33
Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall Jer 15:49

Would anyone like to guess which modern day nation fits this description in every way – Politically, economically , geographically, militarily, religiously?

Who is end time Babylon?

Lets go a little further here and see if we can identify the city/nation that is end times Babylon.

1) Babylon has a deep water port. Rev 18:17 And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

Geographic Babylon (modern day Iraq) has no deep water port, so this Babylon in Revelation must be different from ancient Babylon

2) Babylon has Gods people within it. Is 47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

But:

3) Gods heritage has been destroyed. Jer 50:11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

4) Gods people have been led astray by false shepherds. Jer 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

5) Gods people are swallowed up in a false religious system. Jer 51:44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

6) Geographically Babylon sits upon “many waters”. Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. 

7) And is abundant in natural resources. Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. 

8 ) The people of Babylon are a mingled people. Jer 51:53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

9) They are a proud people. Jer 50:31-32 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

10) They feel they are invincible. Is 47:8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

11) They are a people of seemingly great wisdom & knowledge. Is 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

12) They are filled with graven images and idols. Jer 50:38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

13) They have many astrologers, sorcerers and monthly prognosticators. Is 47:13 hou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

14) Babylon is described as “the hammer of the whole earth”. Jer 50:23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

15) Babylon uses the eagle as a national symbol. Dan 7:4,he first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.  Ezek 17:3, 12 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: (12) Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;

16)Babylons mother was the lion (England). Jer 51:38  They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.

17) Babylon is a “destroying mountain”. Jer 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 

18) It is full of “mighty men” & men of war. Jer 51:30 & 32 he mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken. (32) And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

19) Babylon even has a “space program”. Jer 51:53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

20) Babylon is the greatest merchant nation on the earth. Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

21) All the nations of the earth do business with her. Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

22) Babylon trades in every type of commodity. Rev 18:12-13 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

At the time of her destruction

Mystery Babylon, The Antichrist & The Beast: 2

23) Babylons people are drunken and asleep. Jer 51:39 & 57 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. (57) And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

24) She is filled with traitors. Jer 51:2 & 14 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. (14) The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

25) They dwell without care. Is 47:8  Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly,

26) They don’t realize they are Babylon. Jer 50:24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. & Is 47:8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

27) Babylon has oppressed Israel. Jer 50:33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

28) Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall. Jer 51:49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

Would anyone like to guess which modern day nation fits this description in every way – Politically, economically , geographically, militarily, religiously?
