Rebekah Fitsum
I grew up in Kansas and lived in the same home for 18 years before moving to Texas for college. The Lord blessed me with two loving parents from Ethiopia who had a passion for Jesus. My parents were a foundational and pivotal part to my faith and my four other siblings because of the way they served the Lord and the body of Christ.
Since my whole life revolved around ministry from a young age, I thought I knew Jesus. My 6th grade year the Lord pursued me in a way I had never experienced before and reminded me that he desired relationship with me personally, so I rededicated my life to him. He gave me a new sense of purpose and life, and I experienced real life transformation. One way He has grown me is in the spheres of creativity through worship leading and administration. I’m super blessed to take part in both areas here at Stonegate!
My favorite things to do include finding coffee shops and working in them for hours, traveling anywhere and everywhere, spending time with my nephews and nieces, and making music.
My hope for Stonegate is that the culture is one that is sensitive to the Holy Spirit, one that desires to draw nearer to Jesus, and one that beholds God in awe and reverence. My prayer is that the Lord would give us a deeper understanding of him that not only edifies our personal relationships, but also edifies the Church as a whole.
