15 years doom and gloom dissipated like morning mist and the sun broke through

Anne, who came to see us at wits end, sent the following testimony:

“After my children were born, I noticed my state of mind worsened year after year. Now I know I had postnatal depressions after each childbirth, but at the time I had never heard about it.

Early in January 2013 Eva, Dirks’ wife, noticed changes in a mole on her husbands’ back, it had become darker and larger. However she didn’t mention it to him.

The local church: Hope for the future !

Today’s society hasn’t become easier. Notwithstanding new communication techniques such as SMS, chatting, e-mail, communicating and relating to one another is becoming increasingly difficult. A great many people live terribly lonely lives.

The number of depressions is on the rise, psychiatric wards were never more crowded than today… Inner rest is something very few people still know or experience. Even the advancement of medical science cannot banish suffering and death from our lives. Each time there is a new therapy, some new disease turns up…

For many affections science has no answer.

When people lose hope, they don’t want to live any longer.

Faith starts with hope. The local church is potentially the most influential power on planet earth. Church is given by God to be a place of salvation, liberation, healing and recovery… a place where people love one another in spite of their shortcomings and where they can become truly happy.

Our God is a God of hope… for Him, nothing is impossible
