Newsletter March 2019

Dear Ones,
           We want to thank you for joining forces with us in furthering the kingdom of God and helping to make a difference in the lives of many. As things intensify and the world around us becomes darker we realize more and more our need for the Lord and His light and power in our lives, and for Him to increase so that the things and situations around us that are not of Him may decrease. The Lord’s heart and desire for us is to become rooted, grounded and established in Him so that we may be more like Him while still in this world and may be able to overcome the things that come against us and stand triumphant because we are rooted and planted in Him. That is why we are aiming to carry on our life-giving ministry of building up others and ministering to them as we also have been ministered to. And our prayers are with each of you to likewise be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!

Many people depend upon their good-will and we are very thankful for their assistance. In the photo above we are collecting and in the photo below we are delivering the food to the kitchen!






BUILDING PROJECT:



The pictures here show a building project that we have been very privileged to assist. It is always our joy to see the poor being uplifted and assisted in whichever way the Lord may lead, and to play a part is an honor.



GRACELIFE CONFERENCE:

The conference was led by our lead pastor, Shayne (seen here) and there were guest speakers from abroad ( as seen below).


The happy recipients at the conference now with new vision and vigor ready to go win the world for Jesus!

VISIT FROM ALBANIA:

 We were on the receiving end of many treats this month, which also included a visit from the pastors of our church plant in Albania. We all gained an interesting insight to the work there and some of the many obstacles that they have had/are having to be overcome for the work to thrive and the hearts of the people there to be established in truth.

VISIT FROM THE UK:


Will Graham and his wife Barbara ministered in great lengths to the pastors and elders of Gracelife as well as several Sunday congregations. They also joined the one week conference where they envisioned and inspired everyone with the great things GOd has in store and how to work strategically and with a plan.

VAN:


We are happy to be able to say that we are getting closer to achieving our goal of getting a much needed van for the ministry. We are however realizing that the type of vehicle we are looking for is not easily available. Please pray with us for the Lord to guide us supernaturally to the right vehicle and for us to be able to get it very soon. Thank you so much especially to those of you who have/are contributing towards this, as well as to those of you joining with us in prayer for a speedy manifestation of the van the Lord has for us. Thank you!
