Reflection from Frances

Learning to love how God loves….I am learning to love the person in front of me regardless of my own pre conceived ideas or notions. Despite sometimes the noticeable differences in culture, traditions, values or norms. Regardless of my own fears or insecurities that can rise out of all those differences. And at the same time I am learning to love myself, the way God made me and not resent, despise or dislike those things that God has created on purpose because it is for a purpose. We are all uniquely created.

What is really our notion of mission? Sometimes I think it can be more about our journey rather than those God has called you to serve. Why do I say this? I say this because he continually turns me upside down and inside out. Asking me to take leaps of faith when I can’t see were my feet are going to land. He continually takes away those things I love until I am empty so He can fill me with his treasures.

Perhaps an unexpected treasure from God is courage. Sometimes it is not always comfortable, or seen. Sometimes it is just the courage to keep persisting, keep pressing on, keep focusing, and sometimes simply placing one foot in front of the other.

Study and Reading Project

In September we commence our study and reading project and are deeply thankful to the Irish Embassy/Irish Aid in Monrovia for their support in this project.

We will have an additional four graduates helping to supervise the classes.

These classes will offer a safe space for the local children and youth to improve their reading skills and receive help with their homework. It will also give us an opportunity to increase their knowledge around health and well-being as well as giving them opportunities to develop personally.

Wholeness and Personal Development Workshop

In May The Koinonia Trust facilitated an all-day wholeness and personal development workshop for the leaders of the partner organisations of ‘Kvinna till Kvinna‘.

This workshop explored how trauma affects our health and our communities. Together we explored the different aspects of health and the importance of self reflection as a leader. We looked at communication skills and understanding peoples behavior and how best to approach difficult subjects.

The feedback from those who attended was so encouraging…

“I enjoyed everything that was taught and I learned a lot of new things that will help improve my life and people I call my friends”

 “Responsible for yourself and your own emotion”
