Dearly Beloved in Christ,

It is with great joy I greet you in the New Year and give thanks to all of you who sent Christmas Cards, e-mails and good wishes. I enjoyed every one of them and especially praised God for your love and prayers. I know I would not be here without you.

I am especially looking forward to seeing some of you in the very near future and as soon as I get all the details regarding my schedule ironed out, I will be in touch with the Pastors to solidify the dates. I am believing God to give me supernatural strength and power to enable me to be in as many churches as possible and to have the chance of seeing so many of you, that I have missed so much. So PLEASE keep me in your prayers, especially as, God willing, I also plan on returning to South Africa for a visit this year. 

So, with such a positive approach to the New Year, let us boldly declare:

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.

If God be for me, who shall be against me?

God is a very present help in the time of trouble.

No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper.

God is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

I am strong...I am loved... I am special and God has a plan for my life.

I SHALL FULFILL MY DESTINY. I SHALL NOT FAIL.

Thank you and God bless you all for your love and support and especially for your prayers.  I love you,

Joan
