As many of you know, I am about to embark on a new and exciting adventure - one that may very well change the course of my entire life! In just under two months, I will be moving across the ocean to the Philippines, to live on the island of Mindanao in a city called Davao. While living there I will be attending an American missionary school, one that will train and equip me to graduate with a degree in midwifery.
The school I will be attending is called Newlife International Midwifery School, and trains women to be midwives while serving in the mission field. The school is very unique - actually one of a kind - in that all of your clinical work is done as a service to local Filipino women who can not afford health care. The place where we will be volunteering delivers almost 2,000 babies annually.
As you can tell, my time in Davao will be anything but boring. I know this opportunity is going to stretch me in more ways then I can imagine. I would like to ask you to partner with me in prayer. Your prayers will mean more to me then anything as I take this step of faith. My biggest prayer request is that I will be a light to all I come in contact with, having a heart like Jesus as I am interacting with women, babies, their partners, and my fellow students. I would also like to ask for prayer for the clinic, that all of the women that walk through the doors will be helped not only on a physical level but that they will spiritually be filled during their time spent with us.
I hope to be updating my blog on a regular basis, and will continue to ask for more specific prayer requests as they arise. You can find my blog at: www.myjoysoflife.blogspot.com
If you would prefer I send e-mail updates to you, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail at:Rebekahthemidwife@gmail.com, and I will add you to my e-mail list.
I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I have one final request. Would you consider partnering with me as a financial supporter? The tuition I pay for school goes to paying the Filipino midwifes who work at the clinic, as well as to pay for medical supplies, equipment and general running of the clinic. Even the smallest gift can help me to be trained as a missionary midwife, serving the Filipino women all the while. If you feel led to help support me, you can mail a check to the address below, or simply donate on my Youcaring page: https://www.youcaring.com/RebekahtheMidwife
Because the Portland office is so small, the school requests that each family gather all donations and send them in one lump sum. Therefore, if you're able to give, please make checks out to Rebekah Kimminau-Midwife and send to:

{For secutiry reasons, please leave a comment if you would like my address and I will send it to you! Thanks}
Please also let me know if there is anyway in which I can be praying for you!
Sincerely in Christ,
Rebekah Jean Kimminau
