Remember
the story: somebody has a dream, where there are two sets of footprints
in sand, but at some points just one set. Person asks Jesus, why did
you leave me alone, when it was the hardest? No, I didn't leave you,
but I carried you, - was the answer.
Today there are so many hard things happening around us – tragedies,
earthquakes, storms, and floods, where in one moment mud washes away
thousands of houses and people, and leaves just bare life. Hearing
about that and seeing these things in the mass media, our hearts and
minds are filled with anguish. 'God, how should we go on? Have mercy
and be present with your comfort and solutions!' So many lives are
perishing in wars, new diseases are raging in Europe and we experience
an economic crisis, is there still any security and hope for the
future?
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever! Dear ones, only He is our security and refuge!
Since the last issue of N&V summer has passed with all its events.
Many of us met in Amsterdam. Thank you for your support both
financially, as well as by your presence and prayers. It was an
opportunity to meet, to get to know each other and to share. After our
Amsterdam meeting there were other meetings in the Netherlands, in Ede
– the BWA Annual Gathering and the BWA WD Executive Committee meeting.
In the sisters' gathering we devoted lots of time for preparation of
the Leadership Conference for next year. As you already know, the
topic will be "In step with the Spirit". It will be an interesting and
valuable event. Please keep this conference in your prayers and pray
also for God's calling and appointing of a new president because, as
you know, Dorothy Selebano will finish her presidency there.
This fall I've had the opportunity to participate in conferences in
Scotland and Romania, and at the end of November the sisters in
Lebanon are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their women's ministry.
Thank you for your hospitality, love, cooperation and support that I
have abundantly received. May we grow in faith, trust and love in Jesus
Christ, Who does not change and is always present with us. Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday and today and forever!
Wishing you a blessed time of Advent and Christmas full of love!
Sincerely Yours, Livija Lame.
