The Grace Gardens ministry

Grace Gardens is a safe house for vulnerable women. Its where I spend time a few days a week, teaching a couple of the girls how to play the guitar, singing with the women, teaching worship songs, helping some girls learn how to read, generally spending time with these young women and sometimes even baking cinnamon rolls and muffins :-)

On a Wednesday and Friday I go on outreach into the Brothels in Jos, with a small team of both ex-pats and Nigerians .

Check out this video to see some pictures and video footage to give you a clearer idea of what this ministry is all about:

Laminin

Today, one of the teachers at Open Doors showed me his profile picture on Facebook. To me, it looked like a cross. He asked me to look a little closer.... It looked like something scientific. It was actually a picture of Laminin, a major molecule of the human body. The shape of this molecule is a perfectly formed cross! How amazing is that!?

Paul writes in Colossians 1: 16 & 17 - "For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together! These molecules are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without Laminins, we would literally fall apart!

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
