Project South Africa Encouragement
God has South Africa on His mind and has for quite some time. I got a message this week from someone and it was such an encouragement that I want to share it with the family. :)
Pastor Corinne
No deliveries yet on our stuff for South Africa, but wanted to share with you something God showed me Saturday afternoon. Years ago I had a dream that I had given birth to black twins, I was puzzled, but full of joy. A few nights later, I awoke with the sensation of nursing the same twins. Mainly because of this I went to the class on prophecy at the start of the School of the Spirit. A person there said that usually in prophecy twins mean a double blessing, and giving birth (maybe beginning a ministry). She asked if I taught black children or anything....no. Over the years since, I feel the dream has been fulfilled with the sewing group at the church that I help lead taking two different avenues, but related. But Saturday, I was thanking God for letting this come to pass, and I asked him, "But why were they black?" still puzzled after all this time. He spoke to my spirit & said..."What about South Africa"? So I feel this is truly from the Lord and that is why my spirit was so excited when you spoke about your plans. Don't know where else this will lead, but very excited to serve a living God.

Internet safety
We find ourselves in a new and wonderful age of technology with LOTS of great information at our fingertips. Unfortunately, this same opportunity provides an opportunity for the enemy. Children are curious and innocent. Through the Internet, they can stumble on all sorts of things they don't need to see. As parents, we need to do all we can to protect them. Below is a list of just a few filters that you can install on your computer at home. Don't delay, protect your computers today!
kidzui.com - a fun web browser with filters built in. Children love it and parents receive emails of the sites visited by the child.
