My brother is a http://www.findagrave.com/ junkie. Recently he showed me this monument. The monument is of Brittiney Bevin leading several children to Jesus. From the time she was very young she wanted to be a missionary. She loved children and wanted to teach them about Jesus. She had her own checkbook but the only checks she ever wrote were to sponsor a child with Compassion International. She was killed in a car accident a 17.Here's a quote from the first website listed below:
Brittiney was just 17 when she died in a car accident on Sept. 22, 2003. She’d written A Dangerous Prayer in her journal the night before it happened.
"My dangerous prayer is that You will place broken-hearted people in my path and fill me with You so that I can let Your love heal their pain."
Little did she know that her prayer would be answered in her death rather than her life.
