WOMEN IN ACTION

Every single Pare de Sufrir (Stop Suffering) Newsletter is now talking about this Sisterhood thing… I look at some of the Sisterhood members and… yeah, they look happy, even trendy, but is that something I want for myself? Would I fit in?
First of all, anyone can fit in the Sisterhood if they’re between 14 and 30 years old and willing to be a woman of God. The secret is in that word ‘willing’.
When we’re really willing, nothing stops us, nothing is too hard, nothing is impossible. When a young woman wants something in her life, she goes after it and does not stop until she gets it, be it a career, a diploma, or even a relationship. If you’re willing to be a woman of God, you’re willing to change to become one and that is enough to fit in!
A woman of God is not religious or someone who can dictate the whole Bible. A woman of God represents God here on Earth. She’s a reference of Him to her family, friends, and even strangers. She’s an example to be followed, and unlike the Hollywood celebrities, she truly lives what she preaches to the point of attracting people’s admiration and respect… and that’s when people start wanting to have what she has: God.
This is what the Sisterhood is about. To help you, as a young woman, become this referential everywhere you go and in everything you do. We’ll help you deal with your problems the godly way. We’ll insure that you grow in every single month, with personalised tasks just for you.
It this too good to be true? No really, it’s good and it’s true. The Sisterhood started last December with 17 young women in the Church and we already have testimonies from most of them. They’ve become a better version of themselves and yet, didn’t lose any of their personality. The Sisterhood believes every woman is unique and so we aim to keep it that way.
It’s not free though. Only 20 of all the candidates will make it this next Rush month of March so get your form today from the pastor’s wife, take a look at all the requirements you’ll need to fulfil before applying and being interviewed during Rush week (last week of February) by one of the Big Sisters. Applications after Rush week will not be accepted until the following Rush week in a few months’ time.

It was with great honor and regard that 20 of our WiA members have joined a workshop on Supporting Cancer patients and after being properly trained our members will be able to better serve our community and to volunteer in shifts at the JHB Gen – oncology ward – every week mornings in full support to patients undergoing cancer treatments.

Well done WiA!

Following in the footsteps of its sister church in South Africa, Women in Action has begun in Nigeria. .

On December 19^th, 2009, the WiA in Nigeria had its first official outing by visiting one of the many Orphanages around. The Orphanage of choice goes by the name of Compassionate Orphanage and houses up to 35 children ranging from their newest member of 2 months who was born prematurely and the mother died to 14 years of age. The Orphanage is dedicated in protecting its children where they are schooled on the premises in order to prevent them from being mistreated or abused by outsiders. The Orphanage also runs an Outreach support group program for people living with HIV/AIDS and also helps unwed pregnant mothers.

WiA decided to make this Orphanage their first project by donating the food/toiletries and pampers to them as one of it’s members (Susan) was assisted by them, when she found herself pregnant with no place to go and no one to help with the delivery of her baby, it was at Compassionate Orphanage Home that she received the love and care she needed.
