Planting seeds

2 months ago I had the privilege of working in India with one of my closest friends. We reached just over 6000 girls/young women with the gospel and the Dignity Project. Thinking about these precious women today and praying a mighty harvest will come from the seeds sown.

YouTube = free [video]
Vimeo= free [video] with limits, or you can pay

Podcasts (we use BuzzSprout, but many available, and some are free eg BuzzSprout let you upload so much for free, but it gets deleted after so long)

Facebook = free
Instagram = free

A few ideas to get you started

A Website is an option, but best to let a proper service provider to handle playing the audio for visitors - if you upload audio to your website you're then reliant on bandwidth from the web company, and they're frequently very stingy

Work on the new BerryBunch.family website is coming along really well. So here's a brief update. 😁

We're missing making new video content, but with covering the Breakfast Show on Konnect Radio we're glad of the change in our usual routine on top of all the work for the new website, which made covering the usual host doable.

A change is as good as a rest, and we had a blast with those 7-10am weekday slots.

Dave the Dog is missing recording too, but he'll be back doing some more story times from this coming Saturday - for our regular 3-6pm Sunday show on Konnect Radio.

And I'm taking two days of proper down time, just munching chocolate hob nobs, drinking early grey tea (sitting by our roaring log burner) and deliberately doing nothing much else except a drive to the sea to drink from a flask and watch the waves crash against the beach.

I’ve heard more conversations about ‘New Year Resolutions’ this year than ever before. I’m not sure Cadburys will survive the amount of ‘no chocolate all year’ resolutions. I mean… I’ll do my bit to help… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter

He hasn't communicated with me for a good few months now, so I can't tell you how he is I'm afraid

Persecution is on the rise on India, especially in Chhatisgarh State. I've seen videos of believers getting beaten by bamboo poles, and their rice crops stolen.
From a friend:

Situation got very serious in Narayanpur city. While we all were celebrating New Year in different places. They destroyed several churches from last 3days including one of our village church. All the Christians from these 3 villages are sleeping in jungle from last 3 nights. They are seeking to kill Pas Rajmal. He is hiding from few days. Please pray. Around 9 hundred persecutors gather and attacked 2 of Pas Rajmal Karanga's place on January 1st. A Mob (4000 people) gather in Narayanpur city. Destroyed Christian school and a church. There is a curfew now. These people want to close down whole Baster division. In Baster there are 6 districts including Bijapur and Narayanpur. My family (The Overseeing Pastor Ramesh & Family ) has to move out today to be in a safe place. Please pray for us and our protection.

@tanjaostman theres a line in a film spoken by Wil Smith, in I-Robot.

He'd been stating how the robots were not a good thing, and then the whole world realises as the robots take over.

As he dashes into a building to save someone who heavily criticised him for being paranoid, he utters the following words:

"Somehow, I told you so, just doesn't quite cut it".

Seems rather apt right now doesn't it

The only clarity I have is that the leaders of nations who were the most scared about their eternal destination, were the most controlling of their peoplez and the most insistent on vaccines to fix everything...even though we all, already, knew that they could - at the very best - do nothing more than perhaps reduce the symptoms in some people if they had a bout of covid

So sad when logic is thrown away as it was

For a world obsessed with reason and rationality, it soon disappeared when it didn't agree with their world view

@KarlGessler congrats on the pregnancy

Will have to watch in a PC. I paused on my phone and now can't watch or comment via YouTube!!
