Righteousness as an ever-flowing stream in the lives of Christians is Grace & Light’s theme for 2019.

International coordinator Tassie Ghata launched our 2019 theme during Grace & Light’s annual retreat for Nigerian staff in early November.

Over three days staff members evaluated their achievements in 2018 and brainstormed how they will implement goals for 2019. Their outputs are team targets and workplans for the year.

“We also included socialising and relaxing together including watching a movie, to strengthen our relationships and commitment to each other,” said Tassie. “This was a time to share what is happening in our lives as well as what is happening at work.”

One person shared how the mentoring he has received since becoming a Grace & Light employee has changed his life. “Before he struggled to say thank you or sorry because of cultural ingraining. He comes from a family where men are not supposed to say these things. Now he is happy to say them to his wife, children and colleagues,” said Tassie.

“Another person said he can now see the folly of the Me! Me! Me! mantra he continually heard at the prosperity gospel church he used to go to.”
