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"

Prayer request - I CAN GO TO FRANKFURT!!!!!

Dear friends and supporters, I included some of you in this email and hope that was OK. I would love for you to pray for me in this situation, please pray for HIS protection and wisdom, for the guidance of HIS Holy Spirit. Prayer to our Jesus is my lifeline. I thank you for your prayers and see you in the THRONE ROOM ;) This is a prayer request out of the normal. Let me explain the situation: I AM ABLE TO GO to Frankfurt for 2 1/2 weeks (roughly form the 1st of Oct. until the 18th of Oct.) I will..... - meet with the mission’s director of my foursquare church in Frankfurt and discuss how they can come alongside me financially in the future (they started to contact me 2 months ago and we have been emailing back and forth - they want to create and build a core team around me to support me with prayer, finance and fundraising- they want to be more involved which is such an answer to prayer - I have been praying for that during those past 3 years!) - be able to see and have quality time with my parents!!!!!!!!!! - and actually go and be part of my good friend Aris (The Greek)'s wedding The whole trip would cost me as an estimate of budget: 1400 $. The plane ticket will be about 900 $ and the rest is my budget for Germany which will be taken care of there. I do need to raise the money of the plane ticket in the short time between now and the next 3 to 4 weeks. ALREADY THINGS ARE LINING UP AND FALLING INTO PLACE IN THOSE LAST 2 DAYS. I CAN SEE GOD OPENING THIS DOOR. I am praying and trusting God since I really long to go and see my parents and work on a big picture strategy for my financial support coming from my German church in the future. I think it is possible and if God wants it to happen, I know HE will make a way. I have been praying for my German church to come alongside me and now this opportunity comes where I can actually have meetings and discussions with them face to face. Please consider and pray about maybe chipping in to those 900 $ - I can tell you that every amount of money could help. You can send a check to East Hill church (find details on the bottom of this email). Let me know what your thoughts are and thank you for reading this and praying about it. in HIm, Kerstin -- Kerstin Berthold, a long term Missionary for God in South Africa/Cape Town/Table View -"carrying God's message of restoration & healing to an aching world in need."
