Last night my seven-year-old daughter, Ainsley, had the privileged of seeing her grandmother become a Licensed Minister.
My mother-in-law Peggy Thornton became, the FIRST female Licensed Minister in her church.
It was very exciting to finally have her work acknowledged and validated after all these years – I’m sure for her, but for Jeremy, Ainsley, Zack and I too.
My in-laws, Danny and Peggy Thornton, run a missionary organization called Beyond Ourselves. They are missionary clowns. They go to 3rd world countries – Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Bolivia – orchestrating big conferences to teach clowning, puppets and mime to Sunday school teachers. My father-in-law has been a minister for eons, as was his father and his brother as well. Peggy has been a Minister without a title, until last night.
It’s great to see churches acknowledging the leadership roles already being performed by women.
Validating.
I am so very proud of her.
Share and Enjoy

Thanks for being there to see to the spritual nourishiments of people like me at this trying moment of my life when i needed it most.I am a Colombian serving a short jail term in Africa pending when my case will be called up in the court any moment from now.
I must here ,hasten to confess that my case is a little complicated because of my involvement in a not too legal international trade,but i believe in what the bible says through the mouthpiece of our lord and savior Jesus Christ;that if only we can confess the lord Jesus with our mouths and confess also our sins to one another and believe in our hearts that they are forgiven ,while also forgiving our neighbours,that our sins will be forgiven no matter how scarlet-like they may appear.
So i want you to pray for me and when this evil wind of incarceration blows past me i will not fail to sow a seed of appreciation in your Ministry. Your name alone reminds me of what a freeman i was indeed before this time and gives me some strange feeling that if you pray for me, i could actually regain my freedom indeed.
I have seen the daily bible programme on your website and will follow it up and hope that you will not look unto the degree of me unrighteousness and pray for my freedom.
Thanks and God Bless your Ministry in Jesus name Amen.
