"All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort--we get a full measure of that, too." (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 The Message Bible)




training... training... training...









Last week Julianna completed the 3 day Options "Equipped To Serve" Counseling course for women facing crisis pregnancies. (ok, yes, I have taken this one twice... one can never be too prepared!)


and... today I received my certificate for completing 40 hours of formal training based on Selwyn Hughes Christian Counselling trainig course given by Reverand Winston Dickerson (St. Paul's Grahamstown)






Now that I am back into the swing of ministry at Options, I am ready to jump in with both feet!
