Its perhaps one of the finest moments for a faithcommunity when her children grows in maturity. The current challenges for congregations are daunting. Yet, it remains a hopeful journey, a faithfilled journey to continue to nurture and mentor young people, in ministry.
When Rev MAS Fisher was conducted last weekend, as presiding minister within Eldorado Park, a young man coming from Riverlea, it was testimony to the various faith communities, role-models and family members that shaped his journey. In his acceptance speech Rev Fisher, mentioned various individuals who shaped him, and he indicated that it was indeed a village who raised this child.
May we learn, again, that God is at work, in communities, raising up and nurturing his leaders for a time such as this..this is an ongoing journey towards maturity; this is the finest moments in Gods dream...
