Treasures Of Hope - update

Greetings to you all!

I give praise and thanks to God for his guidance and for the many life-changing experiences he has brought us through.

It's seven months since Treasures of Hope started and I am seeing the hand of God bring divine appointments, aligning us with unique opportunities of ministry to  women. God is faithful as we seek Him - He promises that he will not leave us nor forsake us.

God has called us to take the Gospel of good news to all the world. Treasures of Hope's vision is to reach the hurting and needy women in our local community. Some are Christians who do not belong to a church, while the others are not Christians yet. We believe God has called us to provide a safe place for women to gather; to receive healing, encouragement and be supported to seek God's direction for their lives.   
 "God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing"  Psalm 68:6.
 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" Psalm 147:3.
Some highlights from recent meetings:
Three weeks ago, one woman gave her life to the Lord for the first time. It's always a privilege and a great joy to lead someone to the Lord! This woman came with many questions and in the end, she was willing and ready to receive the gift of salvation. 
During our meeting last weekend, our home became a refuge to a woman who needed time out from her problematic marriage relationship. She has since restored her relationship with God. God is restoring hope and healing to many women. 

We are currently waiting for approval to offer support/ministry to women who are in refuge homes due to domestic violence. There is so much God can do through us when we are available. I read the following scripture today and I was so touched and encouraged about God's love and compassion for the lost. As the scripture is saying, God is calling us to the harvest now, not tomorrow or at any other time - but now!
Psalm 102:13
"You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come."
Thank you to all our prayer partners and friends. Your prayers move the hand of God. We continue to covet your prayers so we can influence more lives and fulfill what God is calling us to do.

May God's blessings be upon you all, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!

Launch of Blog - "Treasures in Darkness"

Treasures in Darkness Today, I am launching my new blog - 'Treasures in Darkness." Praise God for technology!  God gives us the desires of our hearts. The blog is an open door of opportunities towards making a dream come true. Blogging is an opportunity to start writing! I feel like I own a million dollars.  God is exceedingly good!    " And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord God of Israel, the God who calls you by name'" (Isaiah 45:3). The world is full of treasures that are buried or hidden until it is discovered! When we face loss, pain and disappointment, God desires that we find the valuable lessons hidden in our times of affliction. It is all very well when our days are full of sunshine and the blessings of God are so evident. But the treasures in times of affliction are not easy to see. Our hearts must have eyes to seek Him in the darkness of our suffering - and...

The courage of love

Against the dark background of much despair, the message of Easter, of the resurrection brings to us a bright light of hope. It is a message about the courage of love that sets the Christian faith apart from all other beliefs. It is about a loving God who relentlessly pursues us (Ezekiel 34:12) despite the sin in our lives. During our reflection time at work this week – I was led to read the following scripture: Jesus said to [Martha] “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die" (John 11:25-16). Sometimes we don’t think much about the daily acts of courage as we live out our Christian values. It takes courage to speak God's Word in places where you know there are unbelievers who are resistant to the message of he Gospel. I believe this is no time to be satisfied with the status quo in our lives. We should take every opportunity that come and turn them ...

It’s A New Season!

It’s A New Season - and  Moving Right Along... ”I worship you I worship You The reason I live is to worship You!” I thank God for my journey and for bringing me to a new milestone, a new era of my life, WOW!    Glory be to God!   I celebrated my 70th birthday a week ago with my family and it was a lovely beautiful time.     I thank God that I got to celebrate this milestone with the people I love the most; that Corvus 19 lock down happened while we’re all together as a family.    I’m ever so grateful to you Lord! And now, moving on to face this age thing “head on”.     The world talks a lot about 70 being the new 60, 50 being the new 40 and so on.    Whatever that mean, I think for me it is time to call a “spade a spade”. What does turning 70 mean for me?    Is it time to give up on living life like I used to?    Is it time to lose interest in the things that I have ...
