Dennis Singini's "American Adventure" Tour Concludes in Georgia

Zech 4:6 "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.'"

By Josie Dittrich, Tour Sponsor

I'm sure that everyone who hosted or met Dennis experienced the same thing I did: a one-on-one of the living Gospel. The Spirit of God within Dennis manifesting the Christ-like compassion, wisdom, insight and overwhelming love for mankind. 

After months of planning and looking forward to Dennis being in the U.S., his two-month, seven state, ten city "American Adventure" has come and gone. Once it started, it sure went fast! Thanks to each of you for your friendship and support in helping to supply and fortify Dennis with his many continuing efforts in Malawi through WorldHope Corps, Communities of Shalom, Lions Club Golden Isles, Talitha Kum/Wezi House of Grace and of course, preaching. The results will be continuing in marvelous ways none of us can conceive at this time.

While Dennis was in St. Simons Island, GA., he spoke to the Lions Club Golden Isles, who to-date, have donated 1000+ used prescription eye glasses & shipped them to Mzuzu. Dr. Robert Millican of the Millican Eye Center, secured and refurbished a SureSight Vision Screener, which has a retail value of $6000. Dr. Millican trained Dennis how to use this amazing medical device and has sent it with him . . . to do the outreach that began with 35 pairs of Dollar Tree eye glasses that I mailed to Dennis several years ago. 

This medical device is purposely developed for remote locations where there is no electricity. In a few seconds of time, prescription eye needs can be accessed. Then the 1000+ glasses, which have the prescription marked on them and have been sorted accordingly, will be able to be matched up easily. 

Please see the attached article of The Brunswick News regarding Dennis & The Lions Club. It isn't totally accurate, but it gets the general story across. BTW: at the end it states the distribution to 20 villages in Northern Malawi will take a few days. Actually, it will take at a minimum of several weeks of time spread across months, as time allows. 

This has been a dream come true for me. It is an answer to prayers that I could never have imagined. Thank you, Father God, truly, "'not by might or power, but by My Spirit' says the Lord Almighty." It is a miracle . . . there is no other explanation. 

Respectfully and gratefully submitted,

Mother Shalom

South Central, Los Angeles, was the neighborhood in the city where Communities of Shalom began in 1992. I met Marx Gutierrez from El Salvador who was there attending High School at the time. He remembers what happened at the corner of Florence and Normandy Streets in South Central, LA, when Reginald Denny was pulled out of his truck and beaten while the crowd looked on and the police did nothing; and how the Rodney King beating resulted in a not-guilty verdict for the police and resulted in a major, 3-day uprising in the neighborhood, until the National Guard came in and finally imposed law and order. He can still remember the fires, the bright orange night sky, the mass looting, 45 unsolved killings, the social chaos...And how the United Methodist Churches responded by creating a zone of shalom in 7 neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Today, Marx is a community organizer, and married to Jennifer Gutierrez, Conference Shalom Coordinator in the Calif-Pacific Annual Conference, and Rev. Vilma

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 Theology of Liberation (Henri Nouwen
