Rabuna Fi is Arabic for “God is here,” a common response when a Christian is trying to comfort someone who is sick or in trouble. In 1999, Vicky Bentley started a discipleship-training program for women in Sudan. She started working within the local churches. The women had heard the message of the gospel and would say they were Christian, but most were not truly born-again
Listening to the testimonies of the home lives of these women was heartbreaking. Their husbands were either dead or gone for years at a time. Most women had three or more children to provide for, no education, no job opportunities, and no hope. God stirred our hearts to find a way to teach them how to be self-reliant. We began developing ideas for simple crafts the women could make, in hope that we could use the crafts as fund-raising tools at churches in the United States.
As we shared the crafts and the stories of the women who made them, God broke the hearts of women in America. Women who never met, could not speak the same language, lived thousands of miles apart, and came from entirely different cultures were supernaturally bonded together by their love for Christ. Women in America recognized they could be prayer warriors, advocates, and fundraisers. Without leaving their homes, they are now reaching the world for Christ.
Today, Rabuna Fi is helping women in Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya to grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Rabuna Fi is funded and operated under the umbrella of Far Reaching Ministries Aviation, a California-based religious non-profit corporation. |

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finsiher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 |
