A Big Thank You from Dennis in Malawi

 "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy..."
Psalm 30:11-12

Beloved friends:
Regardless of life's challenges, we have much to be thankful for. Who could resist the turkey? Or  the apples, pumpkins and potatoes? Who would want to? No, there's no need or use resisting all the good things and deeds for which we can say "thanks"
We can have an attitude of gratitude, focus on what is right in our lives and be thankful for those things. We can choose to be thankful for what we have and who God is, as opposed to what we don't have. Let's offer thanksgiving to God in advance for what He is going to do and for the prayers answered and yet to be answered!
As Philippians 4:6 reads “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
 
I want to say thank you all my precious brothers and sisters for such wonderful contributions as regard to my mission trip to Uganda.  
Brothers and Sisters I do not have many words but as 2 Corinthians 9:11 states, you will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
May the good Lord bless each one you for such a generosity and it is my humble prayer that God give you abundantly. Thanks to Josie for helping me to stand, though the mountain seemed too big to climb but encouraged me to hold on to Gods unchanging hand.
Lastly I want you all to realize that I don’t take this for granted for I know God does not sound a trumpet that shall sound retreat, surely he has something for  us all to serve him and the needy.
God’s blessings to you all!
Dennis Singini

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue Lecture Notes: Presented by Michael J. Christensen, Ph.D.,  Associate Professor in the Practice of Spirituality and Ministry,  Drew University;  and  International Director, Communities of Shalom, The United Methodist Church Introduction “There is a little man in Peru, a man without any power, who lives in a barrio with poor people and who wrote a book.   In this book he simply reclaimed the basic Christian truth that God became human to bring good news to the poor, new light to the blind, and liberty to the captives.   Then years later this book and movement it started is considered a danger by [the USA, or Rome], the greatest power on earth.   When I look at this little man, Gustavo, and think about [the President of the US, or the Pope], I see David standing before Goliath, again with no more weapon than a little stone, a stone called A The...

Let the River Flow: Why WorldHope Corps digs village wells

  Sunday Sermon at the The Water's Edge in OB , San Diego, CA. "Woman at the Well" (John 4:7-15) When you think about the gospel story of the Samaritan woman with Jesus at Jacob’s well, I’d like you to picture this Woman at a similar well in northern Malawi. Sitting and talking with Pastor Dennis Singini about water. Her name is Nyang'oma, which means "drum." Her Christian name is Mary Botha. She is 85 years old and lives in a village in the Kampenda area of Northern Malawi. She has cared for 11 children, two of whom have died. And her husband has died. When Dennis and I first met Mary in 2008, her village did not have a deep well or access to clean water. Nor did the six surrounding villages with over 1,500 people. Women and children had to drink with animals from shallow seasonal wells or walk about of 5km away to drink from the closest stream. Sometimes they would get sick and complain of stomach aches. Cholera and dysentery were widespread, and m...
