Hello, and welcome to our WiW Wednesday e-newsletter!
Today I’d like to talk about what happens when things just don’t add up. Instead of giving up, how about we consider God’s mathematics instead? God plus YOU equals a victory every time.
Here are a few examples –
- One widow with two small coins PLUS Jesus became the wealthiest person in the room and still inspires us more than 2,000 years later.
- One little boy’s lunch with 5 loaves and 2 fish PLUS Jesus = food for 5000 men + plus women and children + 12 baskets of leftovers.
- One widow’s offering of flour and oil plus Elijah and the widow of Zarephath: Widow + cake PLUS God = 1 cake x 3 people x 365 days x 3 years of famine = 3285 cakes.
Wow! Do I have your attention now!?
I hope so, because I want to tell you another God-sized multiplication story that comes to us directly from Africa, and one of our excellent ministry partners, Kumalo Women of Hope, serving the women of South Sudan and Uganda. Mama Paula, our affectionate name for their leader, has led 3 trainings this year. Each woman participant is encouraged to “multiply” what she learns into the lives of other women. Here is a times table X that illustrates how 12 women leaders trained by Mama Paula serves multiple churches with health, head and heart to equal = 222 trained women!
12 women leaders from different local churches, provided 5 Leadership trainings, 5 Health trainings and 4 Peacemaking trainings to 222 women.
Now, I’d love to introduce Mama Paula, who will share more about our partnership directly:
In just over a month, you will have an opportunity to meet with two of our ministry partners right here in the Palm Beaches at our Fruitful, Fashionable and Flourishing Event. Grab your ticket today, and while you’re at it, why not multiply the blessing to secure a table of ten!!
