Frances Update 31st August

By Michael Allsop | Aug 31, 2018 | Comments Off on Frances Update 31st August

We praise God for a successful meeting with the leaders yesterday. We had 22 and most of them and their wife's and husbands have signed up for the Trauma Healing Groups. These will start next week so please pray for them.

The longer I am here the more I see the reality that education is essential in order to break out of the absolute poverty cycle. Please pray that God blesses our education project. We know several people who have started to pay their fees but I know they will need assistance to complete them. 2 are studying electronics, one a BA in biblical studies and education.

We start our second  phase this morning of training with our practical for Trauma healing for children. We have 36 children coming this morning from 8.30-4pm at SIM/ ELWA compound, all have experienced trauma. We are in pairs and have 6 children designated to us for the week.

Please pray God touches these tiny precious hearts and they start to heal.

Pray for us as leaders that God's love and grace will flow from us..

Frances Update 19th July

Donegal Town Presbyterian Church - Frances BlogToday as the rain continues to bring hardship on so many and to delay what I thought were my plans.. God continues to teach me that despite what happens to us,  what obstacles may appear in our  way.. Peace and rest instead of anxiety and weariness is a great gift from God.  Our ability to overcome or to simply rest and lean on Him stems from the joy and peace only God can give to us.  John 14 vs 27 says Peace I leave with you,  my peace I give to you,  not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, not let it be fearful…  God is good
