It is always wonderful to meet good people!

Mr & Mrs Rawlins 11 01 2015

I don’t know if I’ve ever told you the whole story how I ended up being an author of a book. Well, it is a long story but in short, after I found a Christian publisher willing to publish my book, I had to find someone who could help me out with the money the publisher had asked up front.

After they read my proposal letter I wrote to the publisher, one beautiful couple stepped up to the plate and said, “We will lend her all the money she needs because we read her proposal letter and the manuscript and we believe that the message she is trying to communicate is timely and very much needed now at this time and we believe in her dream and vision.” (Manuscript means a book before it is published).

Happy Two Year Anniversary to Appeal for Purity!

You have no idea how excited I’m right now. Yes, God is faithful to seeing me through the thick and thin of life these past two years. There were not easy times by no means but they were wonderful and fulfilling. Wow! Two years have gone by just like that! Time indeed flies, doesn’t it?

May the Name of Jesus Christ be praised forever! Well, guys, thank you for hanging out with me and thank you for all your support, encouragement and love.

I’m asking everyone who is benefiting from this ministry to support this ministry in every way  you can so that the message of this ministry will reach the end of the earth.  The rest of my message is on the video.

I was 16 Years Old

I was 16 years old when I took this picture, which seems like 100 years ago.

So, when my Berhan and I started dating (we were in Addis), I was busy with my school. Berhan used to call me at 9pm sharp, and sometimes we used to talk over the phone for five or six hours straight. Then before I knew it, our phone conversation started affecting my school work.

Is there such a thing as “Christian Dating”?

If you are a Christian and you want to know if there is such a thing as “Christian dating”, proper for a Christian, the answer is sure there is. But before I say anything about the typical, honorable “Christian dating”, I have to define what “Christian” means so that the definition itself will be a ground upon which I build my case.

Christian means, a person who lives or thrives to lead a life that brings glory and honor to the name of Jesus. Continue reading Is there such a thing as “Christian Dating”?

 A Man After God’s Own Heart

(True Story of a Young Man I met)

It was summer but the church I was invited to speak was in Europe and their summer was not as hot as here in DC. I enjoyed it but truth to be told, I was very thankful for the DC summer.

I didn’t know anyone in that church. Almost everybody in the congregation was seeing me for the very first time. I couldn’t even find one person who knew me of course except the people who invited me to speak.

I was very thankful that their leaders didn’t ask me question like “what is your topic for today?” That is just not a good question for me especially after knowing about my ministry. Without detail introduction, the minster gave me the mic and I stood behind the pulpit. Continue reading  A Man After God’s Own Heart

Satan Hates Sex

That sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it?  But, it is not paradoxical. Satan doesn’t like anything or anybody that becomes a reason to bring glory to God and His Truth. And that is exactly what sex is.

Buckle your seat belt and continue reading.

Does sex bring glory to God?  Yes, it does.

Sex is the only “one” possible way two people, one woman and one man, can become one. God created Adam and saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone (Genesis 2:18). So God took Eve out of Adam, “fashioned” her and gave her to Adam as “a suitable helper”. Because she was taken from Adam (from one of his bones), the Bible says:  “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) Continue reading Satan Hates Sex

The Two Most Pivotal Moments Of My Teen Years

One of the two most pivotal moments of my teen years occurred when I was in elementary school. I was twelve years old. In the middle of our recess time, one of my friends who was a boy, came running towards me, away from his friends. He wanted to show it to me but one of his friends was fighting to take it from him. I didn’t know what the magazine was all about but I wanted to see it. So, I joined the fight to get the magazine and I took it from his hand and randomly flipped the pages.

I remember even the spot; the day, the time and the weather as if it was yesterday. I remember being frozen; not only me but I thought for a second the whole world had also stopped moving, PAUSED for a second. Continue reading The Two Most Pivotal Moments Of My Teen Years
