Faithful Stewards Programme Seed Distribution pt 1

Farmers receiving seed

It was excellent receiving the Foundations for Farming training at Shalom Camp Site at the end of October. What was also fantastic for the farmers was receiving maize seed and cowpeas. They were really thankful and went to plant at their homes. The rainy season has started and so the farmers are really busy in their fields.

"God Moments........"

I LOVE having "God Moments" - some cut to the heart while others are sheer bliss. This morning, I was reading an old Newfrontiers magazine "A Tribute To Two Great Heroes" those being Simon Pettit and Frank Gamble when these nuggets spoke volumes to me:

1. Faith says 'we can do it' when everything screams 'it's impossible!'

2. The word automatic is part of our culture........faith doesn't work like that; it's not automatic.

3. Every single person you meet, whatever their background, is made in the image of God, that is, the God of the Bible, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

4. When God desires something He usually gets it. God's desire is to save. He sent His Son to make it happen.
