Fifteen years ago, I had a dream that sparked a desire in my heart to
start a women’s ministry. I did not understand the meaning of that
dream until four days ago. After many years of questions, praying and
waiting, God finally gave me the answer! The answer came so sweetly
and quietly, in comparison to the struggle that I had endured for so
long - I almost missed it.

First, let me tell you about the dream before I continue with details
about the ministry that God has given me. I dreamed I was walking
alongside a river at night. As I was walking, a woman and her two
children, a girl and a boy, were running frantically towards me. I
gently reached out my hand and took hold of the mother’s hand and
led her and the children to this big house with a fenced-in yard, where
they found a safe haven. The dream reminded me of Harriett Tubman's
mission to save others.

I believed this to be my call to open a home for abused and hurting
women and their children. I did a lot of research, but could never come
up with the resources needed to start the ministry. In addition, I ran
into much opposition.  Some people thought that the church should
not get involved with such issues.

We just finished a workshop at our church called "House With A
View." I designed it to help families examine and build their house
upon the solid rock foundation of Jesus Christ. The purpose was to
bring out some spiritual Windex and clean the windows of our
"house" for a clearer view of what God expects in a godly house, both
spiritual (the body, mind,soul) and natural (the place where we reside
and call home).

A few days ago, as I was reflecting on the outcome of the workshop,
the Holy Spirit spoke quietly into my heart that this was the house that
I am to have - for now.  I sensed, at that moment, that I did not have to
wait for a literal house to materialize to help  women - a  teaching
ministry would be the tool to  help women and their families...right
now!

Then I finally realized...

I look forward to seeing YOU at our next workshop!

Your Mentor in Christ,

Pastor Kristine
