Shine your Light and Love people

"OUR DEEPEST IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.

WE ASK OURSELVES: WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE, AS CHILDREN DO.WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME. AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS"


(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration)

IDUTYWA Ministry

Something exciting is about to happen. This week I was asked to speak to and encourage women in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I have never been there before and I am really excited. It is a step of faith. That ministry time will be part of a 3 day conference for the opening of the new building at our sister church there in Idutywa
near Umtata. Pastor Xavier and the region of the Southern African countries will be represented there.  And here is our team. Please pray for us as we go on the road this Thursday evening for 12 hours and then again back on Sunday afternoon. We will officially open the new building structure on Friday. This is a huge step since their never had a building before and meetings were held in big tents...and conferences alike. For me it is especially exciting to experience more of the Xhosa culture during this time. Amanda is a great friend who has been prepping me a bit and she will also translate the word to the ladies on Saturday morning. I am deeply humbled. I love my two sisis (sisters) Sisanda and Amanda and I appreciate my two bhutis (brothers)Siyabulela and Lusindiso.
