SAVE A TAMAR - RECONCILIATION WITH GOD

Save a Tamar is a project to assist women who have been through any sort of abuse and yesterday we took our mobile meeting to Vaal Triangle, holding a special meeting in Vereeniging, with 650 women who joined us for the occasion. 
We do not hold a church service but an interactive meeting that aims to discuss subjects very proper to those who suffered abuse and are still grieving over the consequences of it.
We spoke about dropping the past right there and then, focussing on the dreams and plans that were long forgotten because there was a voice inside saying "you do not deserve" or "you are not good enough" and finally we invited all present to reconcile with God.
Funny enough, but many who have endured any sort of abuse, end up believe that God has rejected them or despised them for the wrong choices or mistakes of the past.
It was a great meeting, maybe one of the best we had because of the participation and commitment of all those who came with a purpose.
Our thanks to these women who took the time to be with us and our prayers that the have embraced a new view in life from yesterday on.
If you stay in the area and could not attend to this meeting, please note that our SAVE A TAMAR SUPPORT GROUP meets every 15 days at 25 Plein Street - Park Station, at 5pm - B1.
Our next meeting will be on the 16th of April.
If you need counselling or advise, do not hesitate to write to us to woman2woman@uckg.org.za

THE WORD OF GOD

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12)

Tomorrow we will have our WORD Event in Gauteng and on Sunday, at the Grand Parade – Cape Town. How do you have to prepare yourself to this event?

You have to come in spirit of prayer so that you will be able to listen to THE WORD that God will give you.

This verse of Hebrews gives us a clear understand that the word that comes from God is living and powerful, it brings discernment and guidance.

THE WORD that God will also review what have been the intents, the purposes of your heart (and that is feeling all about) that are keeping you off the right track or confusing and dividing you.

THE WORD can teach, inspire, reprove, correct, set righteousness – (read 2 Timothy 3:16) so, my friend, whatever WORD God gives you tomorrow, be sure that it is the ONE that, if put in practice, will change your life completely.

Hoping to have you among the thousands who will be in Ellis Park to receive this WORD.

Reviews of the Symposium

We have received many reviews on the Symposium and I would like to highlight a few so that you can understand how important this Symposium was to many women :

 It was an honour to attend The First Symposium for the V Women. The presentation was very informative and empowering . It is true that us women talk and we have the power to influence and also be influenced and in that we need to choose what to take in - only good influences. I also learned that we mustn't allow our past mistakes, cultural norms and society norms influence us because that will lead to unhappy marriages and lives. I also learned that God will always give us a second chance - most women who've been abused or feel that their lives are over often tell themselves that there's nothing else for them, that they'll never get married or that they'll never have happy lives - through the Symposium for women I've learned that there's always a turning point and through the testimonies of all the beautiful presenters of the day I learned that God can take a girl who saw herself as a dissappointment and turn her into a wonderful mother & wife, sisters who thought that their lives meant nothing to making them Pastor's wives who mean everything to God, a young lady who used to bully her brother and never imagined that she could be a wife to a beautiful wife who's been married for 20years, and a young lady who was brought up by her grandmother because her parents weren't together anymore to a beautiful woman of God who's a mother to many and an inspiration to many young ladies. i cant wait for the next Symposium for women. Thank you Mrs Marcia. Babablwa Mana(PE)

 I just received this beautiful testimony from Andiswa Andy Mahobe and I would like to share it with you! Thank you Mrs

Marcia for allowing me to share my expirience. Firstly "wow" what a wonderful symposium. I was so blessed. I became to understand that i am special and valuable to God. The testimonies shared gave me a way out tøo. I also did invited my mother. She just can't close her mouth. She was so blessed tøo. Just to explain about the environment it was like, i was on this talk show on National T.v. I enjoyed everything bout it. Thank you again. Really change is good. For i now know that whether many things went bad in my past that doesn't mean. I will have a bad future because with Christ everything made new. (CPT)

The event was really a blessing. Most of the time when we go through something, we think we are the only ones, but those testimonies made me realise that even out of a bad situation a great woman can arise. The only trick to discovering this great woman is to realise the value of women. The lesson was so great that I realised that I do not have to be ashamed of being great in heels. A woman can do whatever she wants to do and can become whatever she wants to be in heels. We don't have to trade our heels for muscles just because we want to get somewhere.
Thank you very much for the great revelation you shared with us. (JHB)

After yesterday I will never allow anyone to put me down because now I know who I am. (MEADOWLANDS MAIN CHURCH) Rose Thibela

I couldn't be more greatful for the meeting. Really God loves me; now I'm sure of that and I am not like any other woman I am unique thank U God for those words. My eyes have been opened. Princes Ntsoni (CPT)

 The symposium was a real blessing and a wonderful remainder that God loves us and created us with a purpose, although we were the last to be created but we are the most important of the creation. After hearing these words I determined in my heart that I will never doubt myself ever, but I should always be aware of what influences me Kate Khoza (Ekhuhuleni)

It was a great eye opener Mrs Marcia, it made me analyse my life and look at where I have been drawing influence from and also how have I been serving God by the influences I might have had on others as well. And it also made me realise that God valued me before I even accepted Him and now that He is my source of life that adds even more value to me as a woman and as His beloved daughter. Somikazi Tyialiti (CPT)

I watched it live in PE.My God,what a blessing it was for me.On the way back to Grahamstown,we couldn't stop talking about it.I've adopted the 'line' that from 10 minutes ago,that is already the past,shared by Mrs Marcia.I was blessed by all the presenters testimonies,I related a lot to Mrs Marcia Paulo and Mrs Pinky's testimony.I was a combination of both and the Holy Spirit reassured me of his love and that I'm beautiful*rolling eyes*It was like I was there on the alter where the presenters were seated as they talked.I felt engaged,like I've been with you physically.It was more that what I emagined.I better stop here or I'll go on the whole morning.Thank you my beautiful mothers of faith.You are beautil! Alkpma Same (PE)

We thank you for your unconditional support and for taking the time to be blessed with us.
