With Every Good Investment There is an Element of Risk…

Nyawa teacher training4Every good investment comes with a good amount of risk.  Some take that risk in money, time, houses or other material things.  Jesus took this risk investing in the lives of 12 young men, teaching them who He was, who they were, and who others could be through His teaching.  This is exactly what we ventured out to do in the lives of women in the Nyawa kingdom here in Zambia, Africa.  We took the risk, prepared, prayed, and drove to invest in the lives of women not knowing how many would respond to the invitation we put out.  The only thing we knew was the desire in our hearts to show women who Jesus is, who they are, and who the children they teach could become through them teaching like Jesus.  Our risk paid off,  12 women showed up, on time, with Bibles, notebooks, and pens in hand eager to learn!  We had a great time getting to know these ladies understanding how they view themselves and showing them how that compares with how God views them.  Many of their eyes were opened to see how when their view of themselves aligns with Gods view of them they can do mighty things.   We know that this investment will last through many generations because the Holy Spirit in these women is contagious!
