2009 Women's Convention ~ Free Indeed!
Early Bird Registration Deadline Extended!
Free Indeed ~ Women’s Convention in Dallas, Sept. 25-27, 2009
Because of the large number of late May and June camp meetings where the division-wide women’s convention can be promoted, we have decided to extend the early-bird registration deadline until June 30. This will give ladies an extra month to register at the $139 rate. After that we will go up to the regular rate of $189.

God is Crazy about You
A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which of course, he does. "Here, have some cooking oil." "Yuck!" says the boy. "How about some raw eggs?" "Gross Grandma!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe some baking soda?" "Grandma, those are all yucky!" To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! 
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things together all in His order, the always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually they will all make something wonderful! God is Crazy about You. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart!

Texas Women Serve Families in Kenya
Submitted by Patricia Mbola
The Houston International Seventh-day Adventist Church Women's Ministries group launched our Global Mission Project the first Sabbath in January, 2009. We collected money to buy uniforms for young girls in Kenya. Each uniform cost $12.00, and our target was 30 uniforms for needy girls in a district with ten churches. We collaborated with the Women's Ministries District leader for the project. God blessed the Uniform Mission Project, we quickly had money for not 30 but 35 uniforms and the women continued to give.
Our church is really a site of heaven, where you have over 30 nations represented, and for the first time God has given us a ministry that not only unites us but prepares us for the Kingdom. I am ever so grateful for what God is doing and about to do in our area, I sincerly ask for your prayers for our women, that the Lord will keep us focus and ever realize that it is all for His Kingdom.
Here is the recent response from a Sister in Kenya:
Dear Friends.
I would like to report we had a blessed District Women Day at Nthangathini Seventh-day Adventist church. We were able to distribute the uniforms. I should be frank, women were extremely happy. They all appreciated your church’s gift! You may think this was a small thing, but this went a mile in touching the hearts of many.
I hope this will go down in touching many hearts to drive them towards free giving.
I am sorry I was not able to get a good photographer because the one who has been taking the photographs was away.
We were able to buy 30 girls uniforms and because we bargained we had a balance which we bought sanitary towels for the mature girls and pants for all the girls.
Below, please find how we spent the money:
30 uniforms – Kshs.25,860.00
3 cartons of sanitary towels – Kshs.3,340.00
Pants 10 dozens – Kshs. 3,900.00
Transport – Kshs.900.00
Share the photos with your church members and pass our regards to all of them.
