Today, I began to remember when I first filled in a MEQ, I was desperate, I didn't even know whether my marriage could be restored. The women filling out these MEQ's are desperate, some without hope, some with nowhere to go. This ministry may have been the only place that they have received hope that their marriage could be restored.
Since I started working in this ministry 2 months ago, I have come across MEQ's that have been filled in for the 2nd time. Which means that women come back here. I know personally because I left and came back to continue my lessons because I know what I received here, hope and truth. Even truth I did not like hearing because "this truth" changed me and women come back because they know like I knew in my heart that what we receive here is TRUTH - the TRUTH of God's Holy word.
So Partners Thank You for your financial support because of your support changes lives, saves marriages and families and most of all - MAKES US HIS BRIDE! When Seeking our dear Lord asking Him what He would have me say to you, the 1st thing that popped into my head as I prayed is to say Thank You for providing financially - because you provide financially I am able to send out Marriage Encouragement to our first point of contact - the ladies who complete the Marriage Encouragement Questionnaires.
Here are a few Praise Reports within my Ministry *
This is Praise from 3 ladies in their 1st week of doing lessons due to being sent the free RYM ebook and free lessons.

Here's What's New! *
So this month I have learnt so much. It is only due to having a job where I have no choice but to lean and rely on His help and guidance when I am not sure how to respond to a lady who is hurting in an understanding way.
Whenever I am not sure what to say He always gives me the words of encouragement as I seek Him asking Him what does He want to say to His beloved bride.
My HH has also helped me in my day to day tasks whereas at first it was overwhelming and I struggled to keep up and on top of my daily duties - now I am able to easily 🙂 Looking back He made it easy for me guiding me every step of the way. There is still much to learn and do but I am not anxious as He leads me.
For instance, I was not able to fill this Thank You Note in last month as I was not sure what was required of me. Today I am filling it in with confidence as I type because I am asking Him what He thinks I should say.
This is an email from Rina who I responded to with the HopeAtLast.com link telling her she would receive the free RYM ebook and how the lessons transformed me:
Good day. Have been referred here by a friend of mine l want my marriage to be restored this year. May you please send me books through. Regards, Rina
This is from Roxi who completed the MEQ.
I neglected him and had feelings of relief and even thought maybe someone that already loves Jesus would be a better partner to me. But God convicted me and I asked him to put HIS love for my husband in my heart. Unfortunately, in the meantime a woman that had been coveting my husband saw his sorrow and swooped in to save the day... he has been dating her now
This has brought me so much sorrow. - Roxi
Thank You, Lord, for leading and guide me. Thank you that I have been able to hear your voice behind me as I turned to the left and to the right.
Thank you that through everything I went through in my separation and divorce led me here which in turn gave me a heart for women going through the same. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comfort them the way I was comforted. Thank you that I am able to help women with the same resources which helped me so so very much!
Do you feel unworthy or incapable of being used by God to minister? Trust me He can use you by just letting Him know you are willing.
2 Timothy 2:20-22— “Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
Read this verse: it says there are many "types" of vessels. Yes, we are each uniquely made by the Lord 🙂
That means that you CAN be used by the Lord because you are unique. Praise God that our talents are not the same.
Pray and ask the Lord what does HE think you are capable of if you feel incapable. If you feel unworthy ask Him what is your worth in His Kingdom. Ask Him.
My EH's father is a pastor & so is his grandad. His aunt & uncle are also pastors of a church. Many of my own family are involved in ministry and I remember telling the Lord even before my marriage troubles "What can I do for your Kingdom?" Really I felt there was nothing really I could do for His Kingdom because I felt I had no calling or talents that could be used for His Kingdom. But now, wow look at how the Lord is using me.... It's still a bit unreal, but I am doing it. I am doing His work every day of my life and it is soooooo wonderful! He orchestrated it and He led me and guided me and had a vision that HE gave me last year and brought to fulfillment this year.
Habakkuk 2:3 "For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. New Living Translation This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place."
“Better for Me Then, than Now”
