The Journey So Far
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.” [Isaiah 61:1-4]
We are truly overwhelmed by the faithfulness of God!!! Tears of joy flow down our faces when we think of how far the LORD has brought us! Indeed, “He who called us is faithful, who also has done it!” [1 Thessalonians 5:24].
The purpose of this publication is to pay tribute to the LORD and set up a memorial to showcase what He has done with this ministry and how far He has brought us!
“Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men… Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.” [Psalm 66:5, 16]
By the leading of the Lord, WOMEN IN TUNE (WIT) was launched in London, United Kingdom, on 27th January 2002. Like the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, ten people including our two young children, Nobelle and Richard, gathered in our humble living room to witness this birthing! The Lord had given a basic vision based on Isaiah 61:1-4, which we were to run with, and restore, raise and empower women to know, love and serve Jesus. Little did we know or anticipate how far the journey would take us and the challenges we would face on the way. We knew, however, that God had called us, was with us, and would not fail us.
As an apostolic ministry, the growth and expansion of WIT, since then, has been steady, effective, consistent, dynamic and unabated. This is because the focus of WIT has been on developing a firm relationship with Jesus Christ and building character, strength, integrity and excellence in women. Actually, during the early years, our slogan was, “Women In Tune, Listening And Obeying.” With each passing year, the ministry is not only transforming lives and stirring up passion for the things of God in both women and men, but also, emerging and evolving into a powerful and effectual instrument in the Lord’s hand.
“The LORD has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes!” [Zechariah 4:10]
Like Abraham, we took off, not quite knowing where the journey would take us, but confident that God would show us the way. Twenty years later, WIT has done over 100 missions, and has been launched in the Ghana, Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria and South Sudan. We have also run discipleship trainings in the Republic of Benin and Rwanda.
As part of our celebration, we have created a magazine, “A Harvest Of Testimonies: A Tribute To Our God.” Kindly click on the link to peruse it and catch a glimpse of what God has done with us for the past 20 years, and join us in thanking and praising Him.
Love and blessings
