Held our 1st 

Women-Leaders Retreat yesterday.

Five of our amazing ladies who have been in training came to seek God's direction.

It was a precious time; we are in awe of the team God has put together.

I'd like to share this quote from 98 years ago to show you our desire:

"Christ's call is to feed the hungry, not the full; to save the lost, not the stiff-necked; not to call the scoffers, but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable churches, chapels and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers and artistic musical performances, but to raise living churches of souls among the destitute. To capture men from the devil’s clutches and snatch them from the very jaws of hell; to enlist and train them for Jesus and make them into an almighty army of God. But this can only be accomplished by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, where neither church nor state, neither man nor traditions are worshiped or preached, but only Christ and Him crucified.

“When in hand to hand conflict with the world and the devil, neat little biblical confectionary is like shooting lions with a pea-shooter; one needs a man who will let himself go and deliver blows right and left as hard as he can hit, trusting in the Holy Spirit.

“The difficulty is believing that He can deign to use such scallywags as us, but of course He wants faith and fools rather than talents and culture. All God wants is a heart; any old turnip will do for a head. So long as we are empty, all is well, for then He will fill with the Holy Spirit.

“… in the work He has given us to do – the evangelization of the unevangelized, Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible, by faith in the omnipotence, fidelity, and wisdom of the Almighty Savior who have the command. Is there a wall in our path? By our God we will leap over it! Are there lions and scorpions in our way? We will trample them under our feet! Does a mountain bar our progress? Saying ‘Be thou removed and cast into the sea,’ we will march on. Soldiers of Jesus never surrender!”  ~C.T. Studd 1915
