March Devotions Center on Importance of Unified Prayer
We had a great time of sharing and praying together, at our March leadership meeting. The team talked about the importance of praying for each other. Brenda mentioned how meaningful it was to participate in the united prayer for Margaret Becker and asked if each of us would commit to pray at the same time every day for our team and the upcoming event.

Invitation by SPS Chapter Chair: Lenten Fast
Dear Friends,
A couple weeks ago, after polishing off a Red Velvet Cake, I got the idea to fast. I must admit this idea of fasting was purely to help my physical state since I wanted to lose weight before heading on vacation. But then God spoke to me loud and clear. . . fast to cleanse your spiritual state and become dependent on Me. My husband recommended the Daniel Fast. We both decided to follow this fast for the three weeks leading up to Easter.
I’m scared. I’ve never fasted before. But the more my anxiety builds, the more I realize I need God to take over my life. Wow. ..no coffee, cheese or wine? Only God can help me survive that! I discovered Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners, is also fasting over Lent. One of his statements hit home… “There are times when we come to the end of our own resources and must throw ourselves on God -- which is really always our true spiritual state, despite the illusions of our own self-sufficiency. And it is the very turning away from our own devices, opinions, and strength -- and turning to God once again -- that is the best way back to finding ourselves, our voices, and our missions. That is my prayer for us all this Lent.” (From Sojourner’s Blog)
During this fast, I plan to focus specifically on how God wants to use me to aid children and women trapped in poverty and the human trafficking industry. I’m praying for:
• Specific direction on how I can live out the challenge in Gary Haugen’s book, Just Courage. How do I leave my safe world and be brave for God?
• Our Human Trafficking conference in June.
• Children and women in our Prasath Ballang ADP.
Would you join me in this adventure from March 15 – April 4? Pray about it this week and see if God is challenging you to join me in my fast. If you are interested in the Daniel Fast, check out the following site: http://www.daniel-fast.com/about.html
This is between you and God. But for those of you who fast, let’s use our blog to share how God is working in our lives. I’m expecting miracles!
Blessings - Brenda

Chapter Members Attend Network Tacoma Training
In February, several members of the South Puget Sound chapter of Women of Vision participated in a training at the Network Tacoma offices.
Network Tacoma is the local organization chosen by this chapter, for service and support opportunities. The staff at Network Tacoma facilitated a training for our members, to learn about how we can best interact with and serve families who are receiving assistance, housing and training through Network Tacoma.
We look forward to offering our hands-on service to families transitioning from homelessness, into self-sufficiency. If you are moved to partner with us and participate in local service programs such as Network Tacoma, please let us know by emailing Holly at: wovsouthpugetsound@gmail.com.
