Philippians ch 4:14
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
God has consistently reminded me that it is by faith and not sight we are called. By faith Abram left the familiar, his family, his home and journeyed to the unknown in order for his descendants to receive their inheritance. It was by faith Noah build the first boat ever and in the middle of a desert. Surely too these men had many unanswered questions. Noah, like Abram, simply obeyed. Thanks to him the human race still exists today and his boat design is still deemed to be the best design for to survive a storm. These men are an inspiration to me as I continue to step out in faith.
Last year was challenging with many storms and many things to learn however God proved His faithfulness. We have a God who is faithful and I have learnt that as we keep our eyes focused on Him, He brings us through. As I trust Him regardless of the circumstances He supplies me with a peace that transcends all understanding.
This year as I return God reminds me that in His strength I can do all things. I remind you also no matter what you are facing, the pain you are going through or the anxiety you have if you release them to God and trust Him He can take those burdens and give you peace instead.
Answers to Prayer in 2018
- We thank God for all the wonderful things that He did last year, the locals who were trained as apprentice Trauma Healing Facilitators, and the children who attended the camp, those who were helped with their education or social enterprise. Those who were supported through mentoring or training workshops.

I thank God that we had the opportunity to facilitate a workshop for the NGO who is funded by Sweden yesterday..
God's presence and leading was tangible as we started to look at trauma and the effects on our health and our quality of life.. And to point them to the divine healer.
We return next week to complete the workshop.
Good morning, today I have been asked to facilitate a workshop for an NGO who are having problems.
Please pray that God would use it to move people forward... I am focusing on the wounds of the heart, the journey of grief and the process of forgiveness.
ARRIVED... Unpacking our new curriculum books have arrived, many thanks to the Mandala Trust for their support and generosity.
We start with two Trauma healing groups for men, one of leaders, one with community dwellers.. many are Islamic, some are Muslim leaders.
In my feelings of inadequacy God is reminding me He has equipped me with everything I need and will supply more as I share the good news of God's love and how Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted.
