On Tuesday the 8th we had a beautiful Women’s celebration in Sir Lowry’s Pass. It was hosted by Emily and co-hosted by me, Rita. There were several ladies from the village testifying beautifully of how coming to know the Lord through His Word and a more intimate walk with Him has changed their lives forever, and brought about amazing transformations. There were also some who stood up and sang beautiful heart moving songs for us.
Amazing cakes and goodies were provided as well., and a team of precious ladies worked hard to serve everyone!
However the highlight was when our guest speaker, Daleen Boysen, blessed us all with a good word about the power of a transformed heart, seeing ourselves the way God sees us and walking in our new identity.
S.A. HARVESTER:
Long back we were encouraged to contact S.A. Harvester for assistance with out feeding schemes. However nothing seemed to come of it. But then, through a miraculous round about way, they contacted us (via Lions) and we received a big “once off”, but potentially semi regularly. –We hope &pray!

GRACELIFE:
This month I taught about the flow of the H.S. (see John 7:38-39) staying within it’s banks of love (God is love) and truth (Jesus is the Word and He said He is truth (John 14:6).
Philip taught on: Our Helper and Comforter and illustrated Spirit, Soul and Body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
We also had some fantastic Word studies on the book of Colosians. We divided into groups and with our teams dug deeper to mine all the wisdom and to see how how Paul established the deity of Jesus!
BEANIES AND JERSEYS:
We want to thank all the precious ladies who invested their time and effort to knit beautiful beanies for the children. These beanies were distributed via the Lions’ Club in several poor communities, one of them being Sir Lowry’s Pass.
We also want to thank Wendy our precious Gracelife family friend who for years in a row has assisted us with hand knitted jerseys and beanies. Which also were distributed in Sir Lowry’s Pass. Thank you!
BREAD AND PIZZA BASES:
Our regular contribution of bread and pizza bases has become a regular stable for many of the kitchens in Sir Lowry’s Pass—every one looks forward to the delivery and sometime when we pass through the village we hear the children excitedly yelling, “Pizza, pizza!” We are very thankful for this much appreciated contribution and the big difference it has/is making!
