This is a magnificent example of English court dress of the mid-18th century. It would have been worn by a woman of aristocratic birth for court events involving the royal family. The style of this mantua was perfectly suited for maximum display of wealth and art; this example contains almost 10lb weight of silver thread worked in an elaborate 'Tree of Life' Design. The train is signed 'Rec'd of Mdme Leconte by me Magd. Giles'. The name Leconte has been associated with Huguenot embroideresses working in London between 1710 and 1746. The Huguenots were French Protestants who, following the repressive measures against them that the Catholic monarch Louis XIV of France restarted in 1685, emigrated to Britain and elsewhere.

Mothers: How You Could Get Published in the New NIV Mom's Devotional Bible
Are you a mom? Love to write? A devotion about parenting or mothering written by YOU could be published in Zondervan's newly updated NIV Mom's Devotional Bible, due in stores spring 2013. We're excited to see your submissions! (Enter the contest by March 14, 2012)
What We're Looking For
Your devotional entry should be encouraging or inspirational in tone, and written from the perspective of a mother.
Your entry should be original, 250-300 words in length, and focusing on ONE of the following passages from the Bible:
The Lawyers Made Us Say This Part: Your entry must be in English, previously unpublished, and not submitted or accepted anywhere else at the time of this contest. And don't forget, your entry should be original to you and only about one of the five Bible passages listed above!
If Your Entry Is Selected…
Authors of the winning submissions will have their devotion and a short author's bio printed in the upcoming NIV Mom's Devotional Bible. Winners will also receive a free copy of the Bible.
So what are you waiting for?
Enter the contest at Facebook.com/MomsDevotionalBible.
Sample Devotionals
If you would like to see an example of what we're looking for, here are two:
Passage: A mother tends to define herself most easily in terms of externals: I am a mom. I am a wife. I am a daughter. I am a graduate. I am a teacher. I am a volunteer. I am what I do. I am what others need me to be. I am what I accomplish. While these descriptions may be true, they are incomplete. They overlook the vital fact that we are made, inside and out, by God. We are created in his image and for his purposes. When we gaze into the mirror of God's Word, we find that God has stamped on our being a reflection of his character, his essence, his being. That is not to say we are mini-gods in any sense. But just as children reflect the physical, mental and personality traits of their parents and even adopted children share the mannerisms and habits of their adopted families, so we who are fashioned by God manifest elements of his character in our beings. Who are you, Mom? Genesis 1 and 2 spells it out. You are God's image-bearer (see Genesis 1:26–27). God expresses his being through both genders, male and female. You are a co-laborer with all of God's people in his world (see Genesis 1:28– 31). When you live in the fullness of who you are, you show your children, your family and your world a full and accurate picture of your God. So there, Mom. Take the definition for who you are from how God made you. You are a unique being fashioned after the God of the universe — inside and out! Think about this: How often do you define yourself by the negatives? Who you aren't, what you haven't accomplished, what you aren't doing. How might this negative definition of yourself affect your mood as well as your daily choices? How might it impact others around you? Switch your sight to God's view of you and get ready for great changes! |

This is me.
I'm Katie. I'm 22 years old.
I'm a personal trainer, a runner, and a food enthusiast extraordinaire.
I love running to stay fit and I love eating to stay healthy. Hence, I am a "Hungry Runner." The funny thing is, I haven't always been a runner. In fact, I used to hate running. And until very recently, I never gave so much as a second thought to any of the foods that I ate.
For most of my life, I've been an athlete. When I was younger, I dabbled in just about everything from cheer leading and horseback riding to softball and ice skating before I tried out for the swim team when I was 11 years old. I don't know what it was about swimming that hooked me so quickly, but I ended up sticking with it for seven years until I went away to college. (Above, the middle picture is of me at a swim meet.)
As you can imagine, swimming competitively for two hours a day, six days a week, for seven years straight had a profound effect on my body. I was burning up to 2,000 calories or more per workout and in in turn, I had quite an enormous appetite. I was able to eat Poptarts as dessert after breakfast, french fries with lunch, and have three servings at dinner without ever gaining so much as a pound. I was effortlessly able to maintain a healthy weight of about 115 pounds, plus some pretty nice muscle definition, without ever having to give a second thought to diet or exercise. Oh, those were the days.
Then came college. After much debate, I chose not to swim competitively because I knew how big of a time commitment it would be. I was interested in pursuing other things (like writing and editing for the school newspaper) that I knew I wouldn't have time for if I had chosen to join the swim team. So, my high-intensity, two-hour-a-day workouts were suddenly taken completely out of the equation, and at the same time, I was introduced to the tempting and not-so-healthy world of college campus food. For someone who was used to being able to eat whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted with absolutely no consequences, this was basically a fool proof recipe for gaining weight in a matter of no time at all. And that's what happened. I began to gain weight for the first time in my life and suddenly discovered what it felt like to feel uncomfortable in my own skin.
I never became unhealthily overweight. I only ever gained about 10 to 15 pounds. I was still at a relatively normal weight for my height, but I just wasn't used to the extra few pounds (mostly in my stomach), and I desperately missed the feeling of being in peak physical shape. I had managed to remain active, frequenting the gym 3 or more times a week and my diet wasn't atrocious, but it could have been a lot better and I definitely could have been working out a lot smarter.
When I look back at that time now, I see that my two major obstacles were that I didn't know how to work out to lose weight, and despite what I thought, I had no idea what it actually meant to eat healthily. So, for the most part of the three years I spent at school, I held onto the extra weight I had gained and I couldn't figure out why- no matter what I did- I couldn't uncover my previously slender and toned swimmer's physique.
Fast forward to now. I've slimmed back down to my "swimmer status" physique and I feel stronger than ever. I still love to eat, but in a much healthier way than I ever have before. The two biggest changes that I've made are that I run more (much more!) and I've learned how to really eat healthily. It's not easy, but if you're interested in a healthier lifestyle you can read my blog to find out how I eat and workout on a daily basis to make sure my fit and healthy physique is here to stay.
I owe a lot of credit for my success to help from others, but I've also learned a lot on my own along the way and I've found that the real changes came when I decided to stop trying to lose weight and made the all-in decision to just do it.
So, if you really want it and you're willing to make changes there's no reason at all why anybody can't lose weight, get in shape, and stay fit!

Terrell Suggs Reportedly Asked to Surrender Guns Due to Domestic Dispute Case
Terrell Suggs was asked to surrender several firearms after a domestic dispute with his girlfriend, according to the Baltimore Sun (h/t ESPN).
According to police, the surrender of the guns stems back from incidents between Suggs and his girlfriend that took place in November.
According to the report, Suggs filed a custody complaint against his girlfriend, Candace Williams, on November 19, and two 911 calls were received at Suggs' address on November 21. Suggs' attorney Warren Alperstein told the Baltimore Sun that Suggs owned the guns legally and gave them up willingly.
The guns were surrendered over to police pursuant to the court order, and they (Suggs and Williams) are resolving their issue... All I can tell you is that he's in rightful and lawful possession of the guns but turned them over pursuant to the requirements of the law.
Neither the Ravens organization nor Suggs was willing to comment on the situation at the time of this story, so it's hard to speculate on any type of punishment that Suggs could face. It would appear that Suggs is cooperating with authorities and working to correct the issues with his girlfriend.
The couple have two children together. In 2009, Williams filed a $70 million lawsuit against Suggs but eventually withdrew it.
Suggs was the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year and has sat out much of the 2012 season due to injuries. In the six games that he has played for the Ravens he has 19 tackles, two sacks and four pass breakups.
Stay tuned to Bleacher Report for the latest updates on this situation as more information becomes available.

Whether it's the weather, the fact that hunting permit application deadlines are looming or simply because "sports show season" has come and gone hunters and fishermen are dreaming about outdoor get-aways. North American Hunter-TV's visit to the Eastern Sports & Outdoors Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania revealed a common response from outfitters exhibiting there. While most told us they didn't take a lot of bookings on the spot, there were a lot of customers seriously looking and asking questions. Exhibitors know they'll see the real results very soon. But what if you could take an exotic hunting or fishing adventure for free? One on which you even get to select the camp or lodge to which you'll travel? That's exactly the idea of the Quebec Outfitter Federation's (QOF) Ultimate Destination Sweepstakes. The first step is as easy as going to the Quebec Ultimate Destinations entry web site. There you select from the four categories of trips – antlered game, bear, upland birds/waterfowl, and fishing. Then you browse the participating QOF certified outfitters offering packages in your selected category. I can personally attest, there are some great outfits offering prizes in this sweepstakes. Some of the very best hunts of my life have taken place in these camps. Every category offers terrific trips; no matter which you select you can't go wrong. Once you've spent some pleasant time day dreaming about each of the prize trips, make your selection. Then you'll be guided to the sign up page where you provide the information they'll need to contact you when the drawing is complete. Then just sit back, relax and wait for that phone to ring at the end of the summer! In addition to the grand prize hunting and fishing trips equipment prize packages will also be awarded. Oh, and I forgot to mention, there will be a television crew on the trip with each grand prize winner. How about that – fortune, fame and happiness – all in the same Quebec Ultimate Destination Sweepstakes.

I recently purchased and installed the optical flow sensor on my quad. During initial tests in CLI mode the optical flow sensor could not be initialized. After looking at the datasheet for the sensor I noticed that the NPD line needed to be held high for the sensor to communicate with the APM. The instruction in the wiki for this sensor do not show connecting the NPD line. I connected a jumper wire from the NPD pin to the 3V pin to hold this line high all the time. This fix allowed the sensor to initialize and start communicating with the APM. Has anyone else had the initialization error I saw and either used this fix or found another way to fix this?
I should note I was connecting the optical flow sensor to an APM1.

Vs. 25, "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." Jesus is responding to Martha's faith that one day Lazarus who had recently died will rise from the dead at the resurrection. We have an interesting situation where a very close family to Jesus loses their brother, Lazarus. We wonder why Jesus is not hurrying back to Bethany upon hearing of Lazarus' death (vs. 6). But, we see that Jesus has a purpose for in this miracle of bringing Lazarus back from the dead. The longer they lingered finishing up what they were doing, the more people will be amazed (vs. 4). For Jesus to return so near to Jerusalem (vs. 18), it was a very dangerous move for the enemy had started plotting to find a way to arrest and kill Jesus (vs. 45-57). I can't help but notice that God is in control of this situation. For example, Lazarus' death would bring Jesus near to the enemy. The enemy would find ways to distort Jesus. And all of this would lead to Jesus being obedient to death on a cross. Jesus was not a victim, rather He conquered death and is literally the resurrection!
Regarding application…Emotions Are Good. Vs. 35, "Jesus wept." Let's face it…showing too much emotion is a sign of weakness. Crying is for babies. Being too happy is a bit unusual. Do you remember Tom Cruise's interview with Oprah back in 2006, where he stood up on a couch with joy professing his love to Katie Holmes? That one incident of emotion almost derailed his career. People frown upon any type of extreme emotion. With an election year, if any of the Presidential candidates started weeping on live television, they probably wouldn't stand a chance at the Presidency. In the Gospels, we see Jesus display emotions of anger, joy, weeping, etc. Emotions are good. God created us with emotions, that's what makes us so unique amongst God's other creations. Tomorrow is Sunday, many of you may be headed to church. I challenge you to have a bit more emotion in your soul! Sing unto the Lord with joy!

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Meet Jimmy Lin, "Medical and Scientific Doxologist"
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.

Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.

If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

Three Days in Rome
Three days in Rome covers the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Rome's historic Centre through the ages, Vatican Museums, St. Peter's Basilica, and subterranean Rome - a new itinerary of underground tours in ancient crypts and catacombs. Airport transfers to and from your hotel included!
Approximately fifteen (15) hours on any three (3) days excluding religious holidays. Please note that the Entire Vatican City segment cannot be taken on Sundays. You are most welcome to change the order of days, i.e. Entire Vatican City on day three, Entire Ancient Rome on day two, Underground Rome on day one - just let us know your preference when you book.
09:30 AM (recommended start time): You'll meet your private guide on the Capitoline side of Piazza Venezia, and proceed alongside each of the Imperial Forums to the Colosseum. Without waiting, you'll enter the arena and be shown how the immense structure was constructed, when, by whom, and for what purpose. Close to the Valley of the Colosseum you'll see the Oppian Hill where Trajan's Baths and Nero's Golden House are located. The Arch of Constantine and plinth upon which the Colossus of Nero once stood will be studied, before you walk up Via Sacra into the ancient Roman Forum.
The second part of day one proffers a thorough explanation of all the structures which can be seen and walked through inside the Roman Forum and on the legendary Palatine Hill. You'll learn a great deal about Rome in antiquity, from the Iron Age origins of the city, to how the first sewage system was developed and maintained. Hear about Etruscan monarchy, law and order in Republican Rome, what the temple ruins we see today really represent, Roman Imperial dynasties, and why the concept of overbuilding is so crucial to one's understanding of the Roman Forum area.
The third part of day one covers the Centro Storico. You'll be guided across the ancient Campus Martius (Field of Mars) and explore locations including the Gate of Ottavia, Theatre of Marcellus, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona. You'll visit the most important churches from the period of Roman Baroque and learn about life in Rome during the Middle Ages. Of course we visit all the most well-known fountains and statues in the historic centre, as well as some not so well-known works of art which are rarely visited, ergo relatively undisturbed.
14:00 PM (recommended start time): St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums are labyrinthine in every respect, so day two is in fact our 'Entire Vatican City' private tour. All the galleries and rooms wherein major works of art are displayed, are visited. It is of the essence to browse and learn about the magnificent museums long after morning crowds have dispersed. The Round Room, Braccio Nuovo Wing, Sistine Chapel, Pio-Clementine Museum, Pinacoteca, St. Peter's Square and Papal sarcophagi beneath St. Peter's Church are the focal point.
Despite what you see when in Rome, ancient Rome lies between 9 and 15 metres underground. The vast majority of ancient city structures will never be excavated and as a result, our understanding of life in antiquity is for the most part limited to access through catacombs, scavi and crypts on religious sites. We have selected the most fascinating crypts and catacombs in Rome and they are as follows: Basilica di San Clemente, the Christian Catacombs of Sant'Agnese (and Mausoleum of Santa Costanza), and the Basilica of St. Martino ai Monti.
Do remember that the above is a suggested itinerary only. If you wish to exclude some sites or include others, we can allocate a guide to suit your specific needs. Please let us know if you would like a custom itinerary. With the above itinerary, you will see all the major sites and piazzas in and underneath Rome, and this will be done with a depth of information.
"Three Days in Rome" is fundamentally a walking tour, however, several short taxi rides may be necessary which are not included in tour cost above.
When you book this tour, please let us know your hotel or other accommodation address in Rome, and your flight details. Limo transfers to and from either Ciampino (CIA) or Fiumicino (FCO) airports are included.
- Priority tickets
- Licensed guides
- Entire Vatican City
- Entire Ancient Rome
- Underground Rome
- Short taxi rides
Dress Code
Inside the Vatican City, for both ladies and men, knees and shoulders must be covered. For men, no shorts of any kind are allowed. No exceptions are made.
- Tours run every day.
- Tours do not run on public holidays.
- Sturdy, comfortable footwear advised.
Following 25% deposit payment or payment in full, you will be e-mailed a confirmation voucher with comprehensive booking details therein. Payment made and balance due (if any) will be clarified, and clearly explained tour meeting point info plus maps included for you to find your way in Rome. Please print your voucher and bring it with you at the start of the tour.
When In Rome Tours Promise
** Vatican Museums, Colosseum - Roman Forum - Palatine Hill, & Catacombs tickets included!
No hidden costs, English speaking guides, personalized assistance, free Rome orientation & local maps at our customer service center when you check in for your Vatican tour. Amenities include intranet points, lounge, wi-fi, rest rooms, refreshments, and a Roman gladiator photo shoot!
As a significant amount of walking is required, in the event of physical disabilities, we ask that you contact us before booking so that we can assess whether or not a wheelchair is needed. Later start times available on request.
Cancellation Policy
All cancellations must be received in writing. For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, cancellations should be sent in writing as well as by phone.
Bookings that are cancelled 7 or more days before the scheduled tour departure will be entitled to a full refund, less a 10 Euro cancellation fee per transaction.

This voucher is non refundable and non transferable. When in Rome Tours di Russo Danielle (further to be referred to as When In Rome Tours) may not be held responsible
for alterations to tours made necessary by unforeseen or unannounced closure of all or part of the of the monuments included.

After the market, a couple came to pick up a jug and goblets set they'd ordered from me back in January (see picture). They actually had 6 goblets but I didn't want the picture to look crowded!
Then I had to deliver two cat soap dishes and a doggy soap dish to a lady in Great Yarmouth. She'd bought a cat dish last week at a craft fair there and had belatedly decided she wanted more!
Then my daughter-in-law, Diane, (up for a visit with my son) said she'd like a doggy soap dish for her grandmother, and bought the last one I had in stock.
So, with those four things, I had quite a good day yesterday.
Then this morning whilst checking my emails, I found that I'd won £10 on the Lottery. As my luck seemed to be in, I bought an online instant win ticket and won another £2!
I could do with more days like that!

For 17 years, Flamingo Gardens has gathered plant experts, landscapers, and other gardening connoisseurs to its annual festival. This year, the Broward Bonsai Society joins in the fun with an exhibition of the varied shapes and levels of perfection its miniature trees can hold. Displays from Alexander Farms, Greenhouse Orchids, and other vendors entice the eyes while guests wander about, taking in colorful performances from butterfly stilt-walkers and West African drummers. At the Butterfly Encounter, guests learn lepidopterist lore from expert Mike Rich while feeding live butterflies and teaching them about the updated food pyramid.
Wee ones, meanwhile, can head to the Kids Gardening Zone to decorate their own pots and plant a seed or romp through the gardens on a scavenger hunt. Plant experts also hold classes and demonstrations, including "Mounting Orchids & Basic Orchid Culture," and take guests on guided tours through the botanical gardens.
After its cameo in the 1998 movie There's Something About Mary, The Aqua Golf Driving Range became famous, summoning visitors to hit golf balls into aqueous landing areas. Before the movie, however, the 20-acre lake turned state-of-the-art golf facility was a local legend for more than 50 years. Under a long, doublewide canopy or in the sunshine, golfers try to hit golf balls onto floating greens or buoyant caddies, and can employ the expertise of onsite golf pros to hone their skills during lessons. The range also has a pro shop and synthetic short-game center on dry land to practice chipping, putting, and taking off the golf-bag scuba tank needed for second shots at the range.
Tennis combines pinpoint precision with pivoting agility to provide a full-body workout and a fun arena for one-on-one combat with friends and ball-launching robots. At Hagen Park Tennis Center, players will benefit from USPTA Tennis Professional instruction while utilizing six lighted tennis courts, improving their forehand, backhand, and slight-of-hand strokes. Sixty-minute Fit-Tennis Boot Camp sessions focus on physical training that hones tennis skills through drills and circuit training. Players will lose weight and strengthen muscles while reducing the risk of injury, identifying areas of strength and weakness, and developing multifaceted skills. Boot Camp activities employ plyometrics, calisthenics, circuit training, agility exercises, and a variety of other methods to increase power, create shot stability, develop quickness, and avoid John MacEnroe-type eruptions. Classes, offered Tuesdays at 7 p.m. and Fridays at 9 a.m., are attended by a minimum of six players, ensuring a fun and instructive group environment.
A dozen sets of sea legs can flex their nautical muscle aboard one of Duffy's quiet and covered boats.

I am so glad to share with you about observing the Women's Day of Prayer in our union. We have celebrated this whole week end church activities, I mean we (women) lead the Friday evening meeting, Sabbath School program, English divine service as well as Bangla divine service. We tried to involve many women as well as girls also in the program.
We have requested every women to wear purple colored dress as the color of the day, which represents justice, dignity, self-reverence and self-respect. The church was colorful. Every women was happy for the day and they felt the day as a special day and the blessed day. We have made and distributed badge & Bible marker to all the women and young girls.
Really sermon of the day was so nice with the children story. I believe that each one of us has been blessed through the special message.

In the Seychelles, a seminar to give leadership skills to women membersof the local Adventist churches was seen as a huge success when it also saw men coming and wanting to take part. There was a large turn-out at the St LouisSeventh-day Adventist Church where the training course took place under the theme "Women of Faith." The course was comprised of four levels, each covering topics such as self-empowerment, self-worth and self-appreciation, mental health, mentoring young women, balancing home and career, personality assessment, and spiritual gifts. Two representatives from the General Conference led the course: Raquel Arrais and Katia Reinert; they were assisted by Caroline Chola from the Division and help of the Women's Ministries director at the Seychelles Mission, Doris Bick.

Back to the topAdventist women are using Christ's method to touch lives in the community. The Women's Ministries department prepared a one week training to sensitize women about how early marriage of young, inexperienced and dependent girls always leads to poverty, health problems, and violence against women. Home management, personal hygiene, and prevention of some common diseases were included in the seminars. More than 20 women attended regularly. As a result of this program, about four women are now ready to participate in the weekly Bible study small group.

I was born into a non-Christian family. I am the second of the three children. My parents divorced when I was about three years old. My mother later married another man with whom she had two children. So we became five. Through her marriage to my stepfather, my mother became a Christian, an Adventist; thus I got the opportunity to attend church and learn about Christ. Life with the stepfather was difficult since he found it difficult to educate another man's children. And I had no access to my father, who was upset with us because we became Christians.
At the age of 13, I met my father for the first time that I could remember. He came with the intention of taking over his responsibilities as a father but on condition that we returned to his religion. The offer was accepted by my elder brother, who was already fed up with constant problems with our stepfather. But I could not accept because I was in love with Jesus, so my younger brother and I could not benefit from our father's offer.
When I was 15, a terrible problem broke out between my stepfather and my mother that led to their separation. Then my mother abandoned the church and commanded all the children to also leave. However I could not leave the Seventh-day Adventist Church because I had learned the truth and embraced it with all my heart.
My firm decision to remain in the church despite my mother's threat brought me great trials. She determined to pour all her anger upon me for remaining in the church. She cut off all financial support, and I had already rejected my father's offer. I was between two choices; accept my father's religion to benefit from his offer (He is a rich man living in Saudi Arabia.) or join my mother's charismatic church to gain her support.
Both of these two options were in conflict with my conscience. I knew fully the consequence. Refusing their offers would mean a terrible war between me and the parents.
Notwithstanding, I made up my mind to obey God rather than men. My younger brother made the same decision. I will not bother you about the suffering we received from my father; he even attempted to kill us, but God hid us from his wrath.
My mother became an instrument in Satan's hand to torture my life. She refused to give me food, clothing, or pay my school bills. I felt keenly my separation from her. It was just at the age I needed my mother for instruction and guidance, but she became my bitterest enemy.
Finally she sent me away from home. I had no place to go. In my desperation, I decided to fully seek God. My Bible became my best friend. The more I read the more convinced I became that I was on the right road. Like Joseph who finally made a decision to honor God in all his life after he faced the reality of a lonely life away from his beloved father. I renewed my vow to God and made the decision to follow Him all the days of my life. God led me to a special text, 2Corinthians 6:17, 18. This passage became the most precious gift to me. I believed it and claimed it all my life;
Throughout those days of trial, God sent me people who encouraged and gave me wise advice at every point when I needed it most. Yet I needed a home, a family to enjoy the warmth that love brings. I finally finished my Senior Secondary Certificate Examination. Just in time God touched the heart of an elder in the church, who told me that God had asked him to accept me into his family circle.
I became a member of this family, and it served as a home for me. I received the love, warmth and education needed to carry on. Papa, a foster-father, took me as his own daughter and supplied all my needs according to his means.
It was in the house of this elder that I came in contact with the Spirit of Prophecy books. Papa would always call me to read to him from those books. Gradually I got interested in them and soon discovered what a fountain of truth they are. I became fascinated with the book Desire of Ages. I met Christ personally through it. I spent all my time reading all the Ellen G. White books I could find. They were my counselors. The book Messages to Young People offered me all the necessary counsels that my parents could not offer me. It was in this family that I verified the saying in Psalm 119:9, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word." God's word became my guide and I was safe from dangers of adolescence.
I have lived in many homes, but this particular elder's home was a blessing. I count all other trials that befell me as nothing compared to the treasures of life I found in his library. It was the greatest legacy I ever received. Yes, I was influenced for life. No more doubts. I had new vision, new hope, new aspiration. I decided to attend a Seventh-day Adventist institution to earn a BA degree, no matter the cost. I was convinced of God's leadership.
I told my foster- father of my decision to attend an Adventist university. I had always dreamed of becoming a medical doctor, but this program was not available in ASWA. He asked me what course I was going to pursue. My response was quick, "I am going to take a Religion major and Biology minor. I want to know more about God. Later I can continue with medicine." He gave his approval and regretted his inability financially to sponsor me. But with eyes filled with tears he prayed for me, asking God to supply my needs and to fulfill His purposes in my life.
Then I knew I had to begin a new life of faith with God. It was time to put into practice all the lessons of faith I have learned from God's word and the Spirit of Prophecy. Soon I went to my mother to announce to her my success in the Exams and my desire to further my studies in an Adventist Institution. I was disappointed when she mocked my decision and expressed her inability to sponsor me. All I could get from her were some notebooks and one old travelling bag.
I set out for school without my school fees. It was a journey of faith, and God faithfully rewarded it. I found a guarantor who agreed to sign for me so I could begin my studies. I quickly joined the work-study program and got a job washing the dormitory toilets. But I was not ashamed to do it since I have learned to do well all things that my hand finds to do.
I determined to study hard and concentrate my energy and time for God. No idle time to invite temptation. I knew God was preparing me for something great, so there was no time for self pity, but rather I would happily do all that comes my way.
It was not easy to meet my financial needs in school, but God always opened the way when I needed it most. I finally got a sponsorship from a foundation that helped me to cover part of my expenses. Praise God for that. I also canvassed during the holidays. Finally I got the job as Assistant Dean, which was a blessing indeed. With the sum earned, I was able to pay for the rest of my debt, and the last two years of study at ASWA were blessed for me. God blessed me with success in my studies, and I graduated Magma Cum Laude.
By God's grace I met Selom Kwasi Sessou, a Togolese, who proposed marriage. After much prayer, we were certain that God was leading us. We got married December 25, 2001. God has blessed us with a daughter, Jokebed Sessou, almost eight years old. We also have an adopted son, Joela, who is thirteen, the son of my sister-in-law who died at the time of his birth. His father has been traumatized ever since. Those lovely children have constantly been our source of encouragement and blessing. They are precious to us.
For about nine years, I have been in Togo . I can now speak and write in French. It was a new school. But I found peace and joy in my home. My husband is an ordained pastor, a gentle and peaceable man. He has served as a father, friend and brother to me. I do not regret marrying him. I also found my mother-in-law an exceptional woman. She was constantly a source of blessing to me until her recent death.
I found that the difficult times I passed through were a preparation to be a good shepherdess of the flock of Christ. Though young in age, I have experienced the demonstration of God's power and the fulfillment of His promises.
I stayed at home for almost eight years without a paying job, yet God supplied our needs. I have learned to live with plenty and with little. During those years of silence, I was fully involved in the ministry with my husband. I conducted seminars for women, young ladies and youth. I shared my experiences to help foster the faith of those who are in need of help, and God blessed the ministry.
In 2006, God gave me the opportunity to further my education. I became part of the leadership class students where I served as the president of the class for four years. One of the youngest in the class, but not the least, I graduated in August 2009.
It was after my August graduation that the Togo Mission decided to engage me as a Bible Instructor as a result of the blessing of the special tithes from the GC, though I had been elected as the Women's Ministries Department and Children's Department Director, and later Education Director of Togo Mission since January 2008. It was a wonderful experience to work for God in those capacities.
In December 2009, my husband was called to be the Director of the Niger Mission Station. We arrived at our new station the following January; there I continued to be a Bible Instructor. I also assist the Women's Ministries and Children Ministries Departments here. It is a new experience. With God all things are well and good for us. I gained new insight into working for the salvation of women of the local religion here in Niger .
And by the grace of God, I was named the Women's and Children's Ministries Director for the West-Central Africa Division.
EBENEZER!!! Hitherto the Lord has led me in life.

Over the weekend of April 29-May 1, the Oregon Conference Women's Ministries Department sponsored a mini mission weekend in the small town of Sweet Home, Oregon, where the median income in near the poverty level. Cheri Corder, conference women's ministries director, and Tawny Sportsman lead the team. The purpose of the community impact weekend was to reach out as Jesus did and touch the lives of individuals. Every job performed was simply a gift – with no strings attached.
The idea was for women (and men) from around the conference to participate in the weekend events in whatever activities they wished. The weekend was called a mini mission because even though it isn't overseas, it's considered a real mission field, due to the number of people with incomes below the poverty level.
On Friday members started out with service projects and tackled everything from cleaning, maintenance, painting local community centers and yard work, to litter pickup for the town, and much more.
In addition, the Sweet Home church hosted a health and safety fair and provided free blood pressure and pulse checks, eye exams, hearing tests, hearing aid cleaning, massages, free fingerprinting and photos of children, plus free car seat checks by the Police Department. The Fire Department was also there with a big shiny red fire truck for the children to visit.
On Friday evening, conference women sponsored a free vegetarian tasting event at the senior center, where the public could sample vegetarian food and take home the recipes.
Conference volunteers set up a military honor board where people placed the names of loved ones who are currently in the military or who had served in the past. On Saturday there was a roll call of names with a patriotic song afterward.
At the end of the weekend, every job on the list was completed, and the people of Sweet Home are looking forward to the Adventists returning next year.

In tune with the instructions from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the SDA church at Ranchi, (Jharkhand, India) celebrated a special spiritual weekend during the Sabbath hours of 26 and 27 August, 2011.
It began with a lively song service for vespers by the women which was followed by a lively panel discussion organized by Mrs.Manmaya Jeba Singh, the principal of Metas college of Nursing. The panel consists of teachers, Tutors, a lecturer and a lawyer. It became an eye opener to many who have been, suppressed, depressed and locked under the inhuman orthodox and cultural practices of the society. The presence of Mrs.Naina Niral gave opportunity to the church enriching with better comprehension of the legal aspects of abuse prevention.
The Sabbath school presentation was simply superb with a natural counseling done to a woman who was being abused by her husband and who was at the cross roads of her life. While the negative advices left the church members in a kind of a frustration and stress the positive brought relief and hope. The presentation made a direct impact on the hearts of the members.
The divine hour was presented by Dr. Suranjeen Prasad, M.D.in Community who works directly with and girls and women. His effort in saving the victims in trafficking has been remarkable. However he declined felicitation as he felt that it was part of his job description and not a voluntary deed. The power point presentation which was earlier downloaded from the SDA website made the sermon all the more effective. Pr.E.Gordon who retired as the Director of IFA of SUD offered special blessings for the abused in his benediction making it very unique.
Sabbath evening we had one of the longest sessions of group discussion where everyone was involved having divided the entire church into 6 groups. The participation was immense and the contribution great.
Special music by the Hindi and English groups added glamour to all session of worship.
I promoted the "end it now" website. Thanks to General Conference for such a wonderful idea. We look forward for more innovative programs in future.

God has blessed the evangelistic efforts of the Adventist women in Honduras. This being that during the second semester of this year, 430 precious souls were baptized for the kingdom of heaven, by performing the following activities:
In Honduras, the month of September is considered the month of the child. During this month special efforts are made toward children, such as crusades, week of prayer, visits to the poorer neighborhoods, in order to celebrate the Day of the Child. This gives them the opportunity to provide evangelistic materials to the parents at the same time.

Back to the topEvangelism brigades of women, led by Pastor Henry Calderon and his wife, attended an indigenous community of Puerto Inirida Guainia, Colombia. The people were given oral health care by a dentist. There was recreation for the children, classes in oral hygiene, seminars on healthy eating. Food was distributed to families and names were collected to continue meeting with them and giving them Bible courses. Also, to continue giving them food and visitations in their homes.
Back to the topThe Women's Ministries group in Kayangat SDA church conducted evangelistic series for 10 nights led by Shepherdess member, Mrs Saine Golotoh. Women's Ministries Director, Mrs Jupitah Lim have encouraged them to use the "Family Evangelistic Seminar series". The meeting started on June 15-25, 2011. This was the first evangelistic meeting ever conducted by women in this church. In fact, there were two churches combined together for this meeting. The attendance was good every night. The people were excited to hear women preaching for the first time. A bible studies were also conducted each night and at the end of the meetings, 11 souls were baptized.
At first, the women were very afraid to go up to the stage but after much encouragements from Mrs Saine Golotoh, they took the challenge to try their best. At the end, they were so happy for that experience.
In September 8-17, 2011 a similar meetings were also conducted in Rani SDA Church in Tenghilan district. This time only two woman speakers, Mrs Saine Golotoh and Mrs Jupitah Lim. The church members had never had woman speakers for Evangelistic series in the past so at first they were a little concern thinking that a woman speaker is not good enough to preach. But both of them accepted the challenge to preach each night with much prayer. The nightly meeting went on smoothly with increasing attendance each night. At the end of the evangelistic meeting, 30 souls were baptized. We praise God and give glory to God for all His blessings and for the many souls that had been won for His kingdom. Through these experience, it had strengthen our faith and also had encouraged us to reach out for more souls and also to revive the spirituality of our members.
Women's Ministries were also actively promoting the Action Plans for REACH UP. The " A Walk with God" "S.O. A.P" and reading the "Spirit of Prophecy books". Pictures of were as follows:
