Hallo my lovely people of God

It has been such a long time since we have posted on this group. Life takes us on strange and sometimes unforeseen paths... but here we are, ready to serve.

We are offering a 7-day Online "Forgiveness Heals" course during this lent, in preparation for Easter. Please see the flier below for details.

Keep in mind that the times on the flier are South African times and the cost is in SA Rands. Should you wish to receive an invoice in another currency (pounds, US dollars or Euros) please contact me on: [email protected]

In this course we will:
- Unpack what forgiveness is and what it is not
- Take time acknowledge and validate your pain and hurt
- Reflect on your difficulty to forgive
- See where is God in all your pain... and with prayer and scripture readings bring you to forgiveness.

CLICK on this link below, to register for this course and start your journey to forgiveness and healing for you can become FULLY ALIVE.

What is the problem with "just believe"?

So here is the thing...
When we say "just believe", despite waiting 15 years for God to answer, the implication is...
* You just need more faith & trust in God & then things will change/ improve

But we were created for "to live life to the fullest" and "to have an abundant life", then a loving God that expects us to be in limbo for 15 years does not make sense.

It is so easy to give platitudes of just believe, just wait, just trust but that does not help people who are in pain & suffering now, or has been for years. Is this really a loving God? Would you as a loving mother or father expected that for your child who you love?

So where does that leave us, if we truly believe God is love?

At Family of Gentle Healers these are the type of questions we address in our retreats & give you practically ways in which to move forward, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Our next retreat is scheduled 7-14 October 2022 in Tulbagh. Western Cape.
