“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11

Letter from sponsor child & Christmas card.....already?

I recently received a new letter from my sponsor child. I was extremely excited as I read what she had been up to since she last wrote to me. I was greatly encouraged to hear that she reads her bible and attends church and is given nutrious food at her centre. I also have the opportunity to now send a Christmas card-yes, it is early but it might take a lot longer than what most think. I feel privilleged to be able to know my sponsor child and I pray that through our letters we can develop an even better friendship. Most importantly, I pray that she will love Jesus her whole life and that she can be a blessing to many.

"Engage Conference"

On the last weekend of August, I went to a conference called Engage-for young people in our workforce. It was amazing to see so many people there ( it was a sold out event ) hearing from 2 great speakers.
What is so encouraging from these weekends is the number of people that attend. There would have been some who don't know who God really is and many who love Jesus. It is great that a conference could be catered for many young ( and not so young ) people who are living in a society where God isn't number one. I pray that those who went will be challenged by what they heard.
