Building Resilliency
I was honored to do training with all of the staff at Challenge Farm. We had seven groups of ten in each group and we prayed, and learned about one another and the importance of deepening our relationship with Jesus, and taking care of ourselves. By learning how to diffuse triggers, increase the joy of the LORD and avoid vicarious trauma and stress; we can all become better workers and disciples of Jesus. This past staff meeting seventy certificates of completion were received by the staff.
Start Now to Have Now-Faith
Tobias feels God calling him to begin a new work there and I am praying about what Cinderella Released Ministries can do to be part in helping with this new work. As he shared I felt my heart quicken. So, we are praying for God to do a mighty work there. Please join me in prayer for the area of Kabichbich. There is a piece of land with a building, water, and electricity that would be perfect for a church. Please join me in prayer for Kabichbich!

Let Me Be Me
We all appear innocent at first, but the truth is we are all sinners and we need the salvation, deliverance and healing of Jesus. Give God the glory, and He will lift you up and protect you.
A Night Guarded by God
“On the night of the first Seder in Egypt, God did not even permit the angel of death into Jewish homes on “business as usual.” On that night, no Jew died of any cause.”

Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” John 19:11 In my words, “God’s plan supersedes any plan for evil but does not justify the evil doer’s self serving motives…
