Bittersweet Goodbye

The women's conference ended today with lots of encouragement, fun, and a discussion of leadership principles to help prepare them for success in ministry alongside their husbands.

We started the day with an encouraging devotion on how to cultivate God's peace in our lives and a wonderful worship time. We finished up the blankets and cooking project - both having very practical applications for their lives. Lastly we ended the day with a discussion, led by Kim, that gave the women some practical and valuable information to guide them to success as pastors' wives in their church communities.

After a lunch of nshima (see above video) we gave the women certificates of completion as their husbands graduate APC this year. There were many smiles and long hugs - and of course singing - as they headed home.

And then we began our preparations for the kids Bible Club later this week after a little rest and relaxation.
