A word from the Editor

2The idea to have a Women’s Fellowship Newsletter has

been on the agenda of the DWF for approximately 5
years.

A newsletter is quite a challenging task and it does take

commitment. It should not be taken lightly.
One of the most challenging things about a newsletter is
the content. A Women’s Fellowship newsletter more so,
because it seems the women are shy to showcase what
they do for their communities. This is a double edged
sword because, this stems from their humility and their
commitment to God and to the community. Which is
mind blowing and humbling because I hear what they
have done and we see what they have done but it is not
easily published. As scripture says, don’t let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing. As well as the
Lord sees what is done in secret and you will be reward.
Having said this. I would however like to present the
merits of our Women’s Fellowship and showcase their
efforts, so that the world can see how the spirit of God is
moving.
I hope that this newsletter will bring much joy to all who
will be reading it and to those who provided content.
