"And
I will be a father to you, and you
shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty."
2
Corinthians 6:18, ESV
Dear
friends and partners, Greetings
to you all!
Scripture
reveals God to be an ideal Father:
He is patient and slow to anger,
compassionate, nurturing and
understanding. He is a wise
counselor who gently instructs us
and leads us along paths of wisdom,
knowledge and
understanding.
Dr.
Nabeeh taught on Zoom 30 trainees
from 12 Latin American countries for
five weeks about understanding the
Arab world's cultural values in
order to mobilize them to come and
be salt and light to our region. One
of the trainees
shared, "Today's
class was powerful. It made
an impact on all of us and
was very challenging and
encouraging. Thank
you."
Not
everyone who has the title of a
pastor indeed has a shepherd's
heart. One of the great privileges
in our life is to have known so many
incredible spiritual leaders who
genuinely do have and exhibit a
shepherd's heart. Thank you, Pr.
Nabeeh, for you have been one true
shepherd and father. Thank you for
caring for ACCTS staff and serving
God and his people lovingly and
relentlessly.
Happy
Father's Day!
An
answered request.
Thank
you!
We
are glad to share with
you, beloved partners,
that our gracious father
answered our appeal for
building an E-Learning
platform through our
precious long-term
partners from the
Strategic Resource Group
(SRG). They have pledged
to fund creating the
platform and providing
free training for up to
two staff to prepare and
maintain the
implementation
process. Thank
you very much, SRG, for
investing in this new
field of ministry and
co-partnering with the
Lord and ACCTS in this
endeavor pouring into
the work of the kingdom.
Praying for that, we
celebrate the harvest
together.
Sadly,
ACCTS made a hard
decision to deduct 15%
of the staff's salary
for the next six months.
$2,715 per month can
help us continue to
provide the staff with
their regular monthly
salary.
We
invite you to consider
how your giving can make
a kingdom impact. By
God's grace and your
generosity, we can
continue
serving.
Online
training coming
soon
The
team is as busy as a
beaver with all the
preparations taking
place for our
discipleship online
journey with about 90
young women that shall
start the end of June
and continue throughout
July. These women will
embark on a journey of
growth as we guide,
assist and assess their
growth journey. Many are
seeking meaning,
identity, development
and
influence.
Social
media fruit in the
lens of our
beneficiaries
Interaction
and involvement in this
campaign on identity
that took place during
May and June was
phenomenal. It has
motivated women to share
encouraging testimonies,
which confirms that the
message is
delivered. They
shared expressions like,
"I
am not my flesh.
I am not my
past. I am not
what the society
says," motivating
other women to follow
the page. It is
rewarding to see the
impact and witness of
loyal advocates who
believe in our
mission.
"Since
I began to pray
for guidance
before shooting
the video, I
asked the Lord
to clarify the
message he
wanted me
to share. He
gave me this
verse from Psalm
139:14, ‘I
praise you, for
I am fearfully
and wonderfully
made. Wonderful
are your works;
my soul knows it
very well.’ Many
things happened
during this
period, which
encouraged me to
come closer to
myself despite
the
occupations—to
know me better
and realize my
unique identity
in the Lord. He
wonderfully made
me not because
of goodness in
me, but because
he perceives us
as wonderful in
beauty. He
helped me
comprehend his
grace in the
many circles of
my life, such as
the workplace,
and the
ministry, things
I used to count
ordinary but not
anymore!"
Sandy
"I
realized that I
have many
important roles
that I did not
appreciate
enough since
society confines
me in one role
that I should
get (the wife).
However, I
realized that
this is one
role, among
other valuable
ones. I want to
appreciate every
single role,
give it as much
attention, and
enjoy it!"
Please continue
to invite me to
such meetings
because it helps
me find a
purpose and
meaning to this
period of my
life full of
conflicts."
Angy
"I
am supportive of
your group. I
like what you do
for women. I
feel good when I
read your posts.
The least I can
do is to
contribute with
a comment and
show my
appreciation."
Christine
"I
was not aware
that I have all
these roles. I
shall increase
the nutrition
feeding the
roots of my tree
of life. I ought
to evaluate and
reconsider the
boundaries I set
with
others."

A
message of hope for
widows
Despite
the still present restrictions
caused by Covid-19 pandemic, we
seized the opportunity on the Day of
Widows to share a message titled
"God is with me and in me"
with a group of widows and divorced
women in Eastern Amman. Participants
came from different religious and
ethnic backgrounds representing
Jordan, Syria and Iraq.
