"About a decade ago I had a friendship crisis. I looked around and realized I had many acquaintances, but no one I felt comfortable enough to call in the middle of the night. Everyone needs at least one person like that. Someone who will tell you the truth about how your bum really looks in those pants. Someone who will call you on your issues but also be your most encouraging cheerleader. Someone to laugh with, cry with and go on short-lived diets with."

"What comes to mind when you think of prayer? Lengthy prayer meetings, or reciting words we don't mean may be what some of us grew up with. But prayer is so much more than that. Prayer is literally our lifeline to God. He invites us into a conversation with Him that can touch heaven and change earth."

"In those moments, many of the conversations around these real and painful situations were ones of defeat and hopelessness. Which, of course, if you look at things in the natural, was understandable. However, deep in my heart, I felt a loud whisper. I felt like God was saying, “I know all these things are happening, but can I ask you, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?!”"

"Making a difference is a lot easier than we realise."

Christmas is my favorite time of year. And I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. As schools wrap up, corporate businesses prepare for a much needed hiatus and shops and holiday towns gear up for their busiest season – I love seeing how people get caught up in the good things of life: family, friends, generosity and fun.

"If you walk into Reddam House in Somerset West, you might see a young grade 8 boy kicking a ball around, while quietly thinking about what he will create one day when he becomes a Mechanical Engineer. Maybe a new type of aeroplane, or even a flying car?"

"I'm sitting in Jesse's fully completed and kitted-out baby room. It's the most beautiful room in our house.  All his little clothes are neatly folded in the drawers, all according to size. Same with the 10's of thousands of nappy packs, does one baby need so many nappies? He is already the most blessed boy ever, and we haven't even met him yet."

"So now 12 years later, being part of Sisterhood in South Africa and recently having the opportunity going to Kenya for our first ever Sisterhood- The story unfolding is nothing short of miraculous."

"Declarations I declare over my life, inspired by a friend of mine, Ps Craig Groeschel, that will help BUILD my life" - Ps Phil Dooley

"If I were to describe the impact Colour has made on my life, I wouldn’t be able to put it into one moment, but many moments that defined who I am today."

In the past year I've allowed fear to anchor, restrain and even belittle me. My faith declaration for the year to come is courage.

"If it wasn’t for the love and compassion that compelled someone to walk a journey with me, I would not be where I am today."

"I do believe the movement of the SISTERHOOD is a vehicle that God is using to change the world."

Creating great meetings, having less & achieving more!

"All it takes is one moment for God to fix or shift something no man can."

Previous growth does not guarantee present or future growth.

Standing with tears running down her cheeks, Nosipho cried out to God, and He answered.

How can we keep helping those in need?

"Being a mom has taught me that in life, it's wise to plan but I need to be prepared for the plans that may change and I can't always be in control. In Matthew God reminds us to have a flexible heart."

"God quietly dared me to let Him colour my life again, and all I needed to do was to worship Him all the way. Colour Conference 2016"

"There is just something so powerful about being in the company of women who are desperately seeking God. It creates a sense of community, fellowship and a realisation that we are not doing life’s journey alone. "

"There is something inside you that the world around you needs to experience. Only when you are put into hot water, into difficulties, can what’s in you be released for those around you."

"The strength of a women is not found in her bench press or inability to cry, it is found in an audacious choice to be vulnerable, authentic and real before the Lord. Even when it means running black lines painting your face, or dancing like a princess before your Heavenly Dad."

"At my first Colour Conference, God reminded me that He has a plan and a purpose for me, and I was where He wanted me, right here in Africa."
