If you were to see a car accident happen would you stop and help the people in the car or would you drive by believing that others will help them and keep going to where you were headed? This morning I was woken by a request by the pastor in India where we visited three years ago requesting help for the orphanage and daily needs as they were struggling and I thought of the dream I had this morning about a car accident that had happened and those that walked by.  For many of us every day things have happened to the people around us that need our help in some way. The Lord took me to James 2:5  "Listen my dear brothers and sisters:  Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?  But you have dishonoured the poor.....  v14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?  Can such faith save them?  Suppose a br...

This morning I keep thinking about this scripture from Psalm 27:13: "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord  in the land of the living" I wonder if this is more a present reality on a daily basis if we choose to, rather than something we are waiting to see?  If we have the mind of Christ and everything He made is good, then we should be seeing according to the mind of Christ so therefore everything is good? I wonder if our mindset is one, if you are anything like me, we are programmed by the worlds ways to see the negative, rather than the positive.  And so we need to train ourselves and discipline ourselves to see the good in everything.  To take captive every thought that does not line up to Christ, means to take captive those things that do not speak life, hope and future over ourselves and others. So I wonder and am coming to believe, that we have a choice today to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, not...

This morning I was reading from Ecclesiastes 9 about wisdom and in verse 18 it says: "Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good." I have been journeying the learning of wisdom in leadership for a number of years now and it's challenging.  I have made many mistakes and continue to as I learn to balance scripture, of interpreting of what is right and wrong, of when and if to speak, of being patient and learning what is love and what is discipline.  When to overlook an offence and when to say enough is enough.  We all ask the Lord for more, but in the 'more', what it often means is we have to learn to 'love' more and see as Jesus would see, and speak as Jesus would speak. These past weeks I have got very 'discouraged' as I go to Christian meetings and 'see' the heart of man that has judgement toward me, people who cannot look at me because of the offence in their heart. Or hear of people still slanderi...

We are excited to be able to share with you some of the dreams and visions that God has given us for a long time now which are beginning to come into fruition. The calendar are photos I have taken throughout the years in mission, faces of the nations.  It is my desire it would be a prayer calendar both for the nations and for the ministry. The wheat bags are the product of the beginning of the sewing business believing to create small business ideas for those in need so that as a body we lack nothing and have something to share. It is hoped that we will train others in sewing to be able to help themselves create a small income. These are just two of the ideas that we have been able to step into and believe to see these grow into more business ideas and opportunities. Please support us as we sow into what we believe God would have us do. Blessings - Sarah and the team

I don't know about you but there have been promises and dreams that we have been waiting to come to pass for a long time and as I wrote my report last night for our board meeting, the Lord showed me all the things that we are seeing breakthrough in and a stepping into the promises long held onto. He showed me the exciting season we are in and I believe as a body of Christ, that we are walking into.   Keep going through the storms as its like the final birth pains for the things we have been believing for are breaking forth. Creativity is being released Promises are being released,  Joy is being released,  Authority is being released.  Firstly take a moment and write down all that is happening because often stuff is happening and we are not taking hold of what is actually going on in the midst of daily life that we get caught up in.  The 'wins' if you like as it will encourage you. Secondly let me encourage you to keep going as all His promises ...

In reflection This morning the Lord is showing me through the book of Numbers 21:4-10 how easily when things don't go as planned how we sow our seeds of discontent, our seeds of discouragement and start to blame and point the finger at perhaps those who are leading us, our spouses, our parents, our boss. Here is the story of Moses leading the people through to the promised land but in order to get there they had to go around Edom and they grew impatient in the process and started to speak against God and against Moses.   "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?  There is no bread!  There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!" Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them, they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you.  Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us".  So Moses prayed for the people. We reap what w...

As a parent we give advice to our children so that they will not come to harm, we want to see them prosper in all they do.  So too, the Lord, our Father, has given us and continues to give us advice through wisdom and understanding that comes from others, and through the word of God, so we will not be harmed and prosper in all we do.  But so often like teenagers, we don't want to listen to our parents, we want to do it our own way and in so doing sometimes learn the hard way. I don't know about you but there are many things that the Lord has spoken to me through others and through His word, that I have not heard the first, second, or third time,  and it's not until something happens do we 'seek' council and actually have ears to hear what others are saying to us. Wisdom and understanding are all around us all of the time, but so often we are not ready to hear it until something happens and we search out the 'why'.  Like the warnings to have a disaster pa...
