JUSTINESADVENTURES.COM: "What Makes a Good School"

My Name is Justine Pearson, I became a Christian in October of 2008. Just 3 months later in January 2009 God called me to cross-cultural missions in Africa. I spent 10 months in 2009-2010 in Southern Africa. Currently, in 2011 I am in South Africa and Zimbabwe. God is doing amazing work here as I surrender daily to be used by him. Here are the stories of my adventures...

Testimony - God Loves Marriage

One of the things God has called me to do in South Africa is counsel and pray with women to heal birth trauma. When I met with Buhle she opened up about her husband's adultery. We prayed for forgiveness for him and the women involved. 4 weeks later she testified that her husband is now coming home at night and wants to build their family. A text message i got from here read, "Hello Justine, i want to tank God to bring you young lady to us. To me as a mother you changed my life. Tank you for yr prayer.please go ahead to do a beautiful work God bless you. Tank you."

Testimony - God Heals

I met Tryphina as the interpreter to my prenatal class in South Africa. Having had three children and being pinched, slapped, and berated while giving birth at a government hospital she had much pain and many questions. She thought her body did not work correctly and she feared having another child. We met for a prayer session where we cried out for forgiveness for all involved, her husband, and her parents. She had been trying to get pregnant but could not. 6 weeks later she was pregnant, her marriage had more love, the trauma was erased, and her dad called her to apologize for not being the father he should have and asked her how he could make it up to her. God is so faithful!

"What Makes a Good School"

Here’s the skinny…I have realized recently that when I blog it is usually when I am having a strong emotion (ie sadness) and in fact that I have not been sharing the joys of being in service to God. You see even when I have lows as we all do I have peace in the storm of it all that I know what I am to do. You know when you ask for advice yet you know in your heart of hearts what the answer is…sometimes you just want affirmation or sometimes you do not want the answer to be what you know it is well for me this is my everyday…I know the answers and yet sometimes I just need to ask the questions…

With this in mind I thought I would share a bit about what I am working on now...

Currently with Family Impact I am working to put together a booklet in combination with UNICEF, Family Impact and the Ministry of Education in Zimbabwe to highlight "What makes a Good School". You see in Zimbabwe the school system is very poor and the teacher salaries are very low as well as funding for school buildings and supplies is almost non-existent. This booklet will help to gain funding and educate and motivate the country to improve the current conditions.

To show you a bit of what it looks like here is a video from Plan International who has been supporting the Zimbabwe school system.
