N e w s l e t t e r Made pure & reborn!

“... anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life flourishes!"(2 Corinthians 5:17msg)

Are You Accountable to Your Sister??? Is She Accountable to You??? If we all want to get to where we need to go and become strong, skillful, and successful women of God…we must support one another. Never leave your sister behind! Remember you reap what you sow…so sow the best in each other and expect the best from each other!

WHAT IS “ ”?“Ari” (pronounced Arrah) actually is the prefix of my daughter’s

middle name, Arionne. And, “Née” (pronounced Nay) is the suffix of my granddaughter’s middle name, Renée. God gave me the ministry name when He gave me the ministry concept

based on personal circumstances. What was even more amazing (when I researched) was the meaning of the two

names. I found out they meant: “made pure and reborn”! This Ministry was to support the needs of single mothers and their

children with spiritual and daily life guidance. Our main goal is to encourage single moms by letting them know that God loves them and has a very special place in His Kingdom for them.

Single motherhood can be the result of many situations…but as Christians, we cannot allow ourselves to stereotype our women

as the world does. We are obligated to exemplify His forgiveness & love in ALL situations. God gives a “brand new start”, to all those who repent, and we must do the same! So,

regardless of the circumstance that brings anyone to this station in life…unwed pregnancy, divorce, death or being an

unfortunate victim of rape or incest…everyone can gain something from what we have to offer. If you also feel your teen daughter, sister, or friend can gain profitable direction through

the experience of others, it may benefit them to join us, as well. Please feel free to come for Bible Study on every 1st Sunday

which is held at a private home. Our main meeting is held every 3rd Sunday at STM in the Fellowship Hall.

Both convene @ 3:00 pm. For more info please ask or mail us @

I just want to thank God for how He started my new year out! On the 31st, I received a call from my housing worker

to let me know my voucher was ready. THANK YOU JESUS! On the 1st, a neighbor stopped me at the mailbox with a gift for my girls. On the 2nd, someone blessed me

with $100 and a $50 McDonald’s gift card for my girls. Oh yes! And even the day before Christmas, I received $100 in the mail from an unknown sender. God wanted me to know that “finances” will not be a problem for me this year…He will give me even more than I will need and I

agrees with God… “You have been made pure and reborn!”

I just want to encourage others when life seems to

be really stressing you out, and Satan’s attack seems greater than ever…to just

“hang tight”! God sees everything that’s going on

and He’s aware of all of your enemies. Don’t try to get anyone straight, don’t

try to repay “evil for evil”…just do what He tells you to do…”Trust and Obey”…He will take care of it all! And not only will He take care

of it, but He will send encouragement, peace, and joy through others

when you least expect it. He is just sooooo amazing!

A Poem About Our Girlfriends

(Submitted by: Ms. Nanette Robinson)Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Some of their houses will be bigger. Some will drive a better car.

Their children will do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the house. So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.  Think about it…The prettiest woman in the world can have torment in her heart.The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.The richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes ~ might be lonely.And the Word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing.' So, again, love you.Love WHO you are.Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, 'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!''Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen.' Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.'To the world you might be one person, to me you are special!

Because you are an Woman, but even better…because you are a Woman of God
