Foundations for Family

A group of about 16 people from Umguza and Kezi gathered at the Family Impact offices for a 2 day training on the Family. We had folk from Themalezizwe Church, New Life for All Church, River of Life Westgate Church, New Creations Church, United Penticostal Church and Crossroads Community Church.

The training was amazing as we looked at the Five Family Values as well as keeping records in agriculture. The facilitators were David Cunningham, Alan Norton, Stephen Manhanga and Elizabeth Mhunduru.

Lynne Knight from Family Impact is the Project Co-ordinator of Foundations for Family while David Cunningham, also from Family Impact is the Custodian. What I love so much about Lynne and David is that they actually LIVE out Family. It's so encouraging.

The Problem:
“I AM THE CENTRE OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. IT IS ALL ABOUT ME. I DO IT ALL MY WAY.”
Malfunctioning relationships, disturbed families, disjointed churches, dysfunctional society. When people no longer treat each other as human beings, when people are treated as objects, it results in rape, prostitution, sexual abuse, forced child labour, alcoholism, racism, extreme violence, domestic violence, and you think this is normal……. That is when hell invades earth

The Solution:
“GOD IS THE CENTRE OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM. WE DO IT GOD’S WAY”.
Loving relationships, strong families, inclusive churches, transformed society……When objects become human beings again, made in the image of God, when a soldier becomes a son, when a prostitute becomes a mother, when families become a safe place to be, when fathers turn to their children, when husbands love their wives……….. That is when Heaven invades earth
