Missions To Africa

Dear Friends,

During the past four years God has used my gifts and abilities to work with my local church helping women in prison see their potential purpose and destiny in Jesus Christ. Despite their current situation we want them to know that God loves them and desire to use them to reach others for Christ.

Now the Lord is calling me to take a leap of faith and have opened up a door for me to go on a mission’s trip with the JESUS Film Project, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Benin, West Africa has many names including “the birthplace of voodoo” and “the slave coast.”. However, in the midst of spiritual confusion and oppression, God is using national believers in a mighty way. National leaders along with our team are ready to change the nation’s future for Christ.

Through missionaries, we are launching a spiritual movement in Benin. Working side-by-side with Beninese staff and students I will be given the opportunity to meet students on the second largest campus in the country and share the “Good News” of our Lord and Savior, thus giving them hope of a new life in JESUS. Through innovative campus outreach and the premiere of the JESUS film showings, we pray many will put their faith in Christ Jesus and receive their salvation. Our team will be the first to make history as we venture into Benin to show the JESUS film in their language. With your help we can bring the gospel to those who have never heard it.

Would you please consider partnering with me, both prayerfully and financially, to enable me to go and share Christ’s love with these people? I am down to the final stretch only needing 750.00 so I really need your support financially. This will be an awesome move of God and you can help be a part of this. You can make your checks payable to Campus Crusade for Christ, and mail it to Campus Crusade for Christ Attn: Leslie Hamilton, 100 Lake Hart Drive- Dept 3100, Orlando,Fl 32832. (Any investment you make will be tax-deductible, of course.) Please make sure you do not write anything on the memo line of the check; we will make sure it gets routed correctly. . Thank you again for your support and prayers.

Love Samone

Book Signing Pic’s

First Book Signing

Hi All just wanted to give you an update on my book signing. I’d like to first thank my friends that assisted me with this especially The Family Christian Book Store. They hosted my very first book signing and it went very well I must say! I had several different feelings, joy and excitement was a few of them. This was truly a blessing and I thank God that the Holy Spirit and a host of angels were present. The best part of my signing was that we were used to pray for some of those that purchased a book. That in itself was awesome and amazing, had I sold no other books that would still have been the highlight of the day for me. I have a few pictures for you to take a look at. Stay tuned for the next event!

Lily in the Valley Update

This past weekend I was invited to speak at a Women’s Retreat at Lowell Prison in Ocala Fl. I had donated some of my books there and wondered what the women thought about the book, I had no idea what I was about to hear. Well after I spoke the women just rushed me with so many questions and wanted to know how they could get a copy of the book! One women came up to me and stated that she read the book and was so blessed by it that she is taking parts of it and making it into a play that the inmates will be doing in a few months! I was truly beside myself, it was such an awesome feeling. I had to  share this as for me it just tells me what God is doing with Lily in the Valley.

More on Lily in the Valley

 This past weekend I asked a few people what they thought of my new book Lily in the Valley some were still in the process of reading some finished the book in less than 3 days! Here are the responses the first one I added a few days ago came from my mother in law. I must say I was a bit nervous sending the book but I know God and know He has the power to move in a way that leaves us speechless! God is awesome and I know he is moving.
So here are the responses from others:

“I love the book its for everyone. If you never set foot in church you will understand it. Men, women and even teenagers will be able to relate! You touch subjects that so many people can relate to.” -Coworker

“I love the book! The way you illustrate your story and put it to the Word, I love the way you break down the different meanings and the names. If you don’t know the Word of God you will after reading this book!”- Coworker

“This book is a lighthouse to the Father, you see that just from the cover! This book will heal so many hurting people that come into this office.” -Lydia

 
God is doing awesome things with Lily in the Valley I thought about putting the book in the Mens prison but wasn’t sure until I got responses from people telling me that men will truly be blessed by this book. So to God be the glory! I volunteer at a Body by God Dr’s office and they are going to display the books in their office all I did was show the book cover! Only God knew!

The Joy of the Lord

The joy of the Lord is my strength,
In it I put all confidence
It shields me from this harsh life
reassures me things will be alright
The joy of the Lord kept my mind
Not a day late or a dollar short
It became my life support
My shield and buckler,
When I was down and couldn’t see
It came and rescued me
The joy of the Lord is my strong tower
When I became weak it became my power
The joy of the Lord is my protection;
Daily I use this as my confession
Eases any pain I may feel
And shows me that His love is real
Complete joy can not be found in human sex appeal
But thru the Lord we all can experience the joy and love of the Lord
as our strength, tower and shield

TEARS

Tears

My vocal cords crack
break and shake
As it trembles
I fight to keep the tears from falling
It gets harder and harder by the moment with every last breathe
I try to control it
Tears fall like rain beating against my window seal
I cant heal!
So many tears it seems impossible too
I scream in rage
This is the final stage
The waters begin to rise
The flood seeps thru the cracks
Pressure from the past over flows and filters thru my mind
I shake and tremble
Unfortunately I can’t stop it
They continue to take off like that of a rocket
I pull out some tissue from my left back pocket
And pray once more for God to stop it
Tears of fear, tears from healing from pain
They can’t help but fall like rain.

Purge Me

Purge Me
Lord I want you to continue your work in me
Please don’t leave me halfway incomplete
Helpless lying in defeat
I am giving you complete access to me as a whole
That’s including my soul
Take every hole and fill it with you because there’s nothing I can do
I can’t heal myself as hard as I’ve tried
There have been many nights I’ve cried and cried
Regardless of how I react
Please God don’t hold back
But continue the process
No matter my tantrums or complaints.
I’m giving you access; remove all the restraints
I must see this to the very end; to see my new self arise
My new life begin
I want to reach these new heights and new levels you talk about
So I ask please God
Continue your work in me
Give me eyes to see; the beauty of it all.
