1 October 2016 Greetings in HIS precious name This month started with great promise and expectations. We are now already at the end of October and find ourselves reflecting on the many experiences that we were part of. I would like to share something from a book of daily devotions called Disciplines which is available from The Upper Room Books. Haggai 1v15 2v9. A call to Build the House of the Lord and The Promised glory of the new House. Haggai gives his people a word that s worth hearing today as we face similar reviews of our efforts. He reminds them that God s interest focuses less on good beginnings than on good endings. Though the ancient promises may not be fulfilled in their entirety at the moment, God remains steadfast and continues to uphold those promises. We do not fear. The future is still unfolding, and it rests in God s hands. (Jonathan C Wallace.) Tuesday 4 th October dawned clear and bright as the second Face to Face Encounter 109 began at All Saints United Church. We registered 31 pilgrims at the beginning of an amazing two weeks where the love of Jesus was present. I now would like to introduce the pilgrims and some of the conference team of Face to Face Encounter 109.

2 We then had our Gathering and Annual General Meeting on the 22 nd October 2016, also at All Saints United Church where about one hundred community met for a wonderful time of fellowship and to elect the board for We serve an Almighty God. Emmaus Ministries South Africa hold their Indaba and Annual General meeting from the 3 rd 6 th November 2016 at White River. There are a number of delegates travelling from Kwa-Zulu Natal. Please join us in prayer, ahead of this meeting for a Christ-filled weekend. May God continue to pour out His blessings and favour upon you all. Grace and Peace to you. Love and blessings De Colores Cheryl Otten Community Lay Director KWA ZULU NATAL EMMAUS

3 OCTOBER ACCOUNTABILITY NEWSLETTER Lord teach us to pray... After the successful Gathering last Saturday, (can t believe it s a week ago already!) with Amanda and I working on the prayer stall I looked at the comments: Chrysalis and South Africa came up. I have put together pictures with the Emmaus emblems/logos, and I pray that these will speak to your hearts and you will continue praying into these areas.

4 Rejoice, O young man, in your adolescence, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your full-grown youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes. But know that for all things God will bring you into judgment. Therefore remove the (lusts that end in) sorrow and vexation from your heart and mind, and put away evil from your body, for youth and the dawn of live are vanity transitory, idle, empty and devoid of truth. Eccl 11.10,11 Bring my soul out of prison, so Please read Ecclesiastes chapter 12, and Isaiah 46.4, 9, and Joel 2.28, Hebrews 11, 12 that I may give thanks to Your The glory of young men is their strength, and the honour of old men is their grey/white name; the hair. righteous Prov will surround me, for You will deal bountifully with me Ps The Lord sets the prisoners free. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises up those who are bowed down. Ps

5 Although Kairos is not specifically a part of Emmaus, it is a sister/brother movement, and still in need of much prayer. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weaknesses, so that Christ s power may rest on me.2cor.12v9. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Phil.4v19.

6 Bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Eph 6.4 Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it. Prov 22.6 Give us each day our daily bread. Luke 11.3 Our family grace is, Thank You Lord for this our daily bread, and we pray that as it strengthens us, so You will strengthen

7 And pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. James 5.16 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord receives my prayer. Ps 6.9
