BEYOND MEASURE

"OUR DEEPEST IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.
WE ASK OURSELVES: WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.
THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE, AS CHILDREN DO.
WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME. AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS"

(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration!

Thank you for your prayers- 3000 more!!!!

SOUTH AFRICA-CAPE TOWN Dear family and friends, Here I am, less than 4 weeks before the big move. I will go home to Germany, get my visa and then go to Cape Town as soon as I have enough funds. I am doing ok in all this, am so glad that God provides me with peace and trust and all that. I know that He is here and He is working in all this. Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!!!! Trust is what my theme is these days…a trust that is weak and raw and vulnerable, a trust that can only come from my God NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS How is my support going? I have a lot of people praying for me and to be honest that is the most important thing right now. It helps not to stand alone  The finances are slowly coming in. I should have about 1200 $ by now, but need at least 4500 $ to be able to cover the first two months in Cape Town. I believe that God will provide and bring it in. If I cannot cover the first months in Cape Town, I cannot be sent out yet. How can you support me in this? First of all and most importantly you can support me with your prayers. During this season of transition I am need of spiritual protection over my emotions, decisions, thoughts and actions. I need discernment and God’s wisdom for balance. Likewise, you can pray for a good and stable family that will open their home to me in Capetown. My e-mail address is newborntigger@yahoo.com and I would love to hear from you at any time. Financially, I am going to need approximately $1,650.00 a month in support. While East Hill will be giving me some financial support, it will not cover the full support amount that I need. My IMMEDIATE needs are 2 months worth of my budget to be able to go: 4500 $If you need a tax receipt, you can send payments to East Hill Church. Please make sure to note "South Africa Long Term Missions” and “Kerstin Berthold” on the memo line of each check . This information is very important and for easier way for our accounting department we want to make sure that the money goes into the right account.
