What remains?
Reflection on the EBWU - Western European Conference in Prague

"Trust in the Lord"!!! This imperative, emphasised over and over during these days by Dorothy Selebano, President of the BWA-Women's Department, will remain edged upon our hearts and minds. The deep meaning and implications of trusting in the Lord have come vividly alive through Dorothy's unique, colourful and often dramatic true stories from everyday life.

What remains is the task to put into action what we've learned.

What remains is the gratefulness for meeting wonderful, godly women from different countries, different cultures and different backgrounds. Yet, women, with whom we feel connected through the Love of Christ and our common desire to glorify our Lord by serving Him wholeheartedly in our own areas.

What remains is the realisation, that the changes and challenges we face in our women's unions as well as in society are much the same everywhere. We're in it together. However, we need not be discouraged. One strong message from God which came through in one of the workshops, was the call to be still and listen to the voice of the Lord. We need to look out for His agenda and be united in prayer.

What remains is the encouragement found in experiencing our unity in Christ, by sharing our joys and sorrows and by seeing the humble obedience to God's calling in the lives of our sisters all over Europe.

What remains is the joy radiating from the members of the committee, a joy in spite of often painful circumstances.

Joy comes by trusting in the Lord and doing good! Let's do it!
