Kenya, here we come!!!

Hi ladies! Janine here (Lindah's 'daughter in-grace'). I too am a huge "Woman of Peace" fan ;) I have been facilitating the course with such an amazing group of ladies for the last few weeks in my home on a Thursday morning. I don't know what I am going to do with myself when the 14 weeks come to an end!!! Anyway, back to the point at hand ...

Lindah has asked me to "man the fort" of her blog for her while she and Drummond have flown over to Kenya for a few days. (I just got an sms to say that they have landed safely and are already in their first meetings!). She is so excited to be meeting with Benjaline Akenga who together with her husband Julius, head up Family Transformation Ministry under Drum and Lindah in Kenya. Benji launched the Family Centre there after such amazing success running Woman of Peace groups (she is pictured below with the microphone introducing a group of women who have all been through or run Woman of Peace. Don't you just love how vibrant and colourful they look! So beautiful!).

This weekend Lindah will be congratulating a large group of women who are graduating from Woman of Peace! In Kenya, they make a huge celebration of it and hold a graduation banquet. We will post some pics when Lindah gets back. Please keep her and Drummond in your prayers as they travel and minister. They will be back in South Africa next week Monday.

Much love to you!

Janine

A Testimony from Galvendale

A big part of my vision for running this blog is to encourage you with testimonies coming out of the different Woman of Peace groups running in many different communities, cities and countries. I would love this blog to be a place of community for the many woman who have either attended the courses, run the course or are interested in getting involved. We as women are called to encourage one another. Please send me your testimonies, thoughts and ideas.

Below is a recent testimony from a group of women meeting in Galvendale, Port Elizabeth:

"Glory to God! Last night was fantastic and a time of breakthrough for a lot of the ladies. There were also tears as the Lord was just cleaning out closet. We did the “Eve Factor” and I made them write down the name of every person, (especially mother figures) that they needed to forgive, also where they needed to repent (as Lindah said in the DVD) and forgive themselves, as well as just releasing hurt from the past to the Lord. The Holy Spirit really moved and some of them wrote pages full. We prayed together and just released it all to God. Afterwards everybody looked so light and free. The Presence of God was there in such an tangible way and I am just so grateful. I really feel it was a breakthrough evening last night. Over the weekend Keith and I prayed for the WOP group and the Lord gave us a word for them, saying that He was going to do the supernatural in the group and as the course continues to unfold, we will see the manifestation of His Spirit in their lives and they must just keep their eyes on Him and keep their eyes off each other and He is going to transform them. Praise God!!! Love Dorraine"

My heart rejoices in the Lord to be a witness of God's transforming power as He reaches out to mend broken hearts, renew strength for the weary and reveal to us the path of peace even in difficult or dark times. May you be encouraged by Dorraine's testimony today as you realize just how committed God is to your heart being completely whole and free.

Love, Lindah
