HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2 Lucys

We rejoice in a Wonderful 2011 – God is Faithful, when we are not. It has been a year of much travelling and many promises.

A few of these promises are already being fulfilled as people deepen their relationship with God by helping the poor and encouraging those who are disabled or marginalised.

As we scroll down [...]

Kabwe planning is moving forward

Because Ndola is so expensive we’ve decided on Kabwe – between Ndola and Lusaka, Zambia. The dates for Zambia are still Feb 1 to 19. But [...]

Fasting Wednesday 7th December - 'RELATIONSHIPS' are 'What it's ALL about'

Of the Father’s love begotten,

Ere (before) the worlds began to be,

He is Alpha and Omega,

He the source, the ending He,

'veryeasy' versions and level A 'easy' versions at Ndola

Perhaps at Ndola with several/many African leaders and languages represented, it will be a good opportunity to research the way we produce and field-test ‘veryeasy’ scriptures for learning disabled people.

These are really paraphrases like ‘The Message’ –  BUT we need them to follow the original texts as far as possible AT THE SAME TIME remembering [...]
