One thing the lockdown has highlighted for us is the gift we have in our small group leaders!
.
We have been meeting all together for the last 3 Sundays and our usual facilitators have only prepared sessions, but the small group leaders have taken total ownership.
.
In the time apart we have seen the desire for connection grow and the fruit has been an openness and excitement to share our hearts in times together.
.
Two weeks from now we will be going away for the weekend with these small group leaders and we are so ready to pour into them and equip them for the upcoming year.
.
Join us in prayer over health and provision as we near our childless time away!

Throughout lockdown, thanks to so much generosity from our Community, we have been able to support our 66 mamas with food parcels [during stage 5] and biweekly food vouchers, that decreased as things began to open up again.
.
We sent out our final batch of vouchers last week but realize that some of our ladies are still struggling to get back on their feet.
.
We have put in place a temporary program that will last for the rest of this year to support and journey with those who are still in the process of finding work.
.
Three of our team members will be meeting with 15 ladies every 2 weeks until we close in December to check in on personal goals they’ve set as it pertains to study and work.
.
Today was our first meeting and we were so impressed by the work they’ve already put into applying for work and upcoming learnerships.
.
We are privileged to support them in this time of transition, as it’s been a hard one for all. But we see so much light and life in our mamas and have so much hope for their futures!
.
Stay tuned for success stories!

These two ladies travelled across the country last

These two ladies travelled across the country last week, led sessions, shared their stories with vulnerability, prayed for people, spoke life and encouragement and ended the trip with being baptised alongside those whom they’d served.
.
Leadership is an example.
Leadership is humility and service.
Leadership is loving people where they are from where you are, always being aware of your own journey, where you’re coming from and where you are presently with hope and drive for what’s to come.
.
We are so proud of them, who represent so many more. They’re not only wonderful sisters and mothers, they are salt and light in their communities and across South Africa.
.
They will be the ones who bring wholeness and healing in our society and to be in it with them is a highlight in history.
.
May that be an encouragement as you step into your weekend!
You ARE salt and light.

Yesterday was our second full session back togethe

Yesterday was our second full session back together!
.
The focus of conversation was ”living missionally” and serving the people around you. We reflected on being served throughout the last 6 months, and also honored one another in the way we were served by our sisters in Her Voice.
.
Phathiswa shared the experience she had last week when we partnered with @allpeoplesstellenbosch in serving some ladies in Zithulele (see previous post).
.
One of her main takeaways was when she shared her own testimony with a young woman in the maternity ward. The similarities in their histories allowed the new mother to see that there was still hope for her future, despite her challenging past.
.
YOUR STORY IS IMPORTANT.
.
It takes courage to share and sometimes shame or fear can hold us back from being honest about where we have come from. But, as we can see through Phathiswa’s story, her life is one that speaks of overcoming and victory, of grace and love, and second and third and fourth chances.
.
Consider what keeps you from bringing your WHOLE self to the table and realize how much impact you can have on the people and world around you when you can share out of a place of freedom.

This past week we had the privilege of spending time with these beautiful ladies in the gap year programme at Jabulani Foundation.
.
When we were invited by @allpeoplesstellenbosch to join the trip, we didn't know what to expect and quickly decided that our goal would simply be to support the work the organization has been doing, to get to know them by sharing our stories, and affirm their value and worth as young, African women who have been made to be lights in their community.
.
Our first day we spent most of our time with them talking sifting through ”church jargon” - redefining terms that have been tainted by religion and rules.
.
By the next day 6 out if 8 of them had decided they wanted to commit to a relationship with Jesus. 5 of the 8, plus one of their leaders and OUR very own Phathiswa and @noludwemahlasela , made decisions to get baptised alongside some of the young men in the guy’s gap year programme that the rest of the outreach team had been working with during the week.
.
From having zero reference as to what would be possible to the celebration we had together on Thursday, we are so privileged to be a part of the work that God is doing to redeem the things that have been lost over the course of history in the people in this country.
.
Thanks again to @allpeoplesstellenbosch and @sihambasonke for giving us the platform to share and to learn.
.
We look forward to working more together in the future and find so much freedom in knowing these amazing ladies are in such good hands.
.
To be continued!
