Newsletter Issue No 13

Welcome to the Autumn 2024 edition of the Koinonia Trust Newsletter Issue No 13. This issue contains project updates about Trauma Healing Groups, Tailoring Classes and the Koinonia Trust Football Teams plus reflections from Momo and Frances.

Reflection from Momo

Matthew 8 vs 8

‘But the centurion answered Him, Lord I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the Word, and my servant will be healed’.

When I reflect on the faith of this Gentile soldier it encourages me to know there is nothing impossible for God for those who believe and trust in Jesus. The Word of God has the power to transform peoples lifes, mend broken hearts and heal every wound. As we move into another new year of projects this is my prayer not only for others but for ourselves.

Reflection from Frances

Micah 6 vs 8

‘He has told you O man what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God’.

This verse has been  challenging me in the way I view others or live everyday life. We are living in such a broken and uncertain world and here is the direct instruction from the Lord in how we ought to live in it. To advocate for those who are vulnerable, oppressed by government policy or who are struggling to meet everyday essentials. God reminds to love and to show kindness to everyone I encounter regardless of who they are or their attitude towards me. This too is my prayer for the team of The Koinonia Trust both in Liberia and Ireland. May we walk humbly with God day by day through life’s mountains and valleys. Always seeking to treat everyone we encounter with dignity.

Newsletter Issue No 12

Welcome to the February 2024 edition of the Koinonia Trust Newsletter Issue No 12. This issue contains a funding update and reflections from Momo and Frances. We also have updates on Pastoral Care in our new community as well as updates for the Football Teams and Community Sewing Classes.

Reflection from Momo

Psalm 18: 1&2 ‘I love thee oh Lord my strength. The lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.’

Truly the lord has been our strength and my provider, our deliverer, I will therefore praise Him. God is the
rock of our foundation in the Koinonia Trust. As we enter into a new year, we are trusting God to be our
fortress and a high tower. A shelter in the time of storm. We are grateful to God, that He has ushered us
in to another New Year. As a Liberian I am grateful to God for a smooth transition of a new leadership in the government of Liberia.

Reflection from Frances

Luke 17:32 ‘Remember Lot’s wife’

Of all the people that was in Jesus’ life He told us to remember Lot’s wife who when being rescued looked back. Subsequently she then turned into a pillar of salt. I have been mediating upon this verse for the last six months. It resonated with me. She lingered, she longed, she had her hopes and what she thought was her future there. Without warning she was taken out, rescued, she hesitated and saw what she was leaving. I have been guilty at times of lingering and longing pondering on the what ifs. How much time do we waste in doing this? Sometimes God asks us to open our hands and give Him back those dreams and hopes we hold dear and trust Him with our future whatever that will be. Lot’s wife got stuck because she was attached to the past and it outweighed her confidence in the future. God wants us to
embrace what is ahead in 2024 and take hold of His promises. This is a year of new beginnings.
