Finding
time to pause,
reflect
and give thanks…
Dear
Friend
Here
at Focus on the Family Africa, a glance back at
the months that have already passed this year
reflects a staff and ministry that has continued
to stand in the gap for families, and worked tirelessly
to uphold and strengthen the fabric of family-life.
So as you read this Newsletter, join us in finding
time to pause, reflect and give thanks for all
the Lord has done this year.
Highlights of the year included welcoming Focus
President and CEO Mr Jim Daly, accompanied by
Mr Glenn Williams COO, who blessed us with their
presence at our annual Friend and Fundraising
dinner held at the Elangeni Hotel in Durban. Mr
Jim Daly was the keynote speaker.
In
August, we acknowledged the first anniversary
of the launch of The Truth Project, and
have witnessed the passion and the zeal with which
attendees have caught the vision and strategy
of this Biblical Worldview curriculum. As small
Truth Project groups spring up all over the country,
Focus Africa crossed its borders and took The
Truth Project into Tanzania.
The
Focus radio broadcasts swell the African airwaves
daily, bringing hope and enlightenment, laughter
and tears to millions of people in homes and offices
across the continent.
Similarly,
our Outreach Programmes, particularly Parenting
with Assurance and No Apologies,
continue to be called upon by schools and communities,
bringing hope to young parents and a strong message
of selfworth and self-esteem to our youth.
Our
great friends Rob and Dianne Parsons from Care
for the Family (UK) presented what have now become
popular seminars, The Heart of Success
and The 21st Century Parent to families
facing the challenges and rewards of parenting,
as well as helping families maintain a healthy
balance between work and home life. They will
be back again next year.
Focus
resources, books and DVD’s, broadcast CDs,
the online bookstore, subscription magazines for
children and the November launch of Focus’
Thriving Family Subscription Magazine….
as you can see, there is much to tell you about.
The 2009 Focus Christmas Catalogue is
ready to help you to choose trustworthy and reliable
gifts for your loved ones, and was designed and
created specifically with you in mind.
We
thank you for your continued financial support,
intercessory prayers and encouragement. Thank
you for finding time to pause, reflect and give
thanks to God…for the gift of His son, Christ
the Lord!
Warm Christmas wishes to you and to your loved
ones!
Dr Amon Kasambala
Chief Executive Officer
