Gratitude
I’ve been reflecting on the past couple of months about all the trials and tribulations I have experienced. I find myself in a state of deep gratitude to God for giving me strength and grace to conquer the challenges. The Psalms have been my guiding light, providing solace and reminding me that the Lord hears […]
Hope
When I think of hope, a hymn immediately comes to my mind. We sang this hymn on a regular basis as a kind of norm at one of my previous church homes, but now when I think about it, this was anything but a normal song, it was God ordained to inspire and to give […]
HELP
Years ago, I was watching TV, and they were reporting on the Earthquake that had happened in Haiti. There was a man who had been rescued after miraculously surviving for four weeks trapped under rubble. He was taken to the hospital, and the reporters were talking to the doctor, and they asked if someone could really have been […]
It Shall End In Praise
Despair is when you let the circumstances speak to you about what is going to happen. Often times when we are going through something we wait until we receive victory to praise God. However, as Emma Jean Foster sings “Don’t wait till the battle is over to shout now.” Don’t wait, respond with praise right now. […]
Halfsies
When we were kids, we had this thing we called “halfsies”. That is, if someone got something that we wanted like candy, we would call “halfsies”. Then they would have to share with us half of whatever they had. I’ve noticed that we do this with God. We want to take care of the part […]
Cherishing the Essence of H.O.P.E.
We define Hope as trusting Jesus for all the things He says are going to happen. Hope is a powerful thing. It is trusting Jesus in the midst of your circumstances, even if the circumstances don’t look promising. But just when you don’t think you can hope anymore. Jesus shows up. Jesus is always on […]

One of our young people, Clement, has just achieved a significant milestone in his life. He graduated with a degree in Economics from Mulungushi University. We are very proud of Clement, and thankful […]
Godly Wisdom
We just got the chance to see the Taylor Swift “Eras” concert movie. The video was filmed at the Sofi stadium in Los Angeles for her last U.S. tour date. It was Awesome! This concert was unlike any concert you have ever seen. Taylor Swift and her team take all of the tools that are usually used to […]
He is Right There (Keep Looking to Jesus, There is No Need to Hold On To The Hurts of The Past)
I learned a valuable lesson this past year. You can’t make situations change by worrying, and sometimes you can’t make situations change by simply working harder. These are times when you need help. But God was faithful, and He never left us. God’s Spirit kept us encouraged. Every day when I got anxious, or my mind started worrying, […]
We are Casting Out Our Nets
We have been through some very challenging personal circumstances lately, but God has healed us. We are thankful for His presence in our lives, and how He is with us and our family even in the toughest of times. As we look around, we know He will continue what He began in us. Philippians 1:6 […]
