Presbyterian Women of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) -- Global Exchange to Africa 2002

Presbyterian Women Global Exchange to Africa — October 2002

Sisters Together: Listening With Our Hearts

"The reason that I speak to them in parables is that 'seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand…' For this people's heart has grown dull and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn-and I would heal them…"

Matthew 13:13-16

Presbyterian Women undertake this journey in October, together with our African sisters, seeking God's Spirit

to heal the wounds of our history
to awaken our awareness
to teach and lead us into the truth
to reconcile us to each other and to God
