On the paths of life I have had the privilege of walking on the shores of Burutu in Delta and Twin Island in Cross Rivers, on the shores of Takwa Bay in Lagos and waterside of Argungu in Kebbi, on the Lagos Bar-beach and Abraka beach, on the waters by Ogbogologo market in Asaba to Ikpoba river in Efosa community behind Block of Flats where I was born and grew up... and indeed many more Kiagbodo, Calabar, Aboloma, Onitsha, Sapele, and others.
My footprint like the one above are no longer there.
I simply walked and watched the waters wash over them.
But there is a faithful God Who knows the number of hairs on my head, Who also knows what He has enabled me to do all these years applying His principles in my life and Foundation.
God knows my paths, my lying down and rising up, my walks and works, my joys and challenges, my helps and helpers.
It has been a rhythmic heartbeat of life, ups and downs, but God has been faithful.
By January 1st 2020 God will make it 15 solid years of TLF, to Him be all glory. It's with nostalgia that I recall all the preparations towards the kick-off January 1st 2005 in Benin City. Many who started with me are far and away, but the wheel goes round and round. It can only get better, as it already is. It is with deep gratitude to God that I remember and thank all those who have been involved with TLF for good. It is very possible that there are many others who have been so involved who I've never known in person or their inputs and prayers, God bless them all. For our heroes past, their memories can never be forgotten. For new comers, hearty welcome. For onlookers well done in your own endeavours in making society better through charity and social development, may our works intertwine for good and God's will.
I continue to walk,  whether or not the Sands remember me, God does, the Rock of my Salvation. Whether or not TLF is known or its impact felt, God knows, the Omniscient, with this I'm satisfied and happy to continue my walk and work.

 Tina Clark
Merry Christmas and Happy 2020 in advance

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of God's word and called it 'pluralism'. We have worshipped other gods and said 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar'. We have endorsed pervertion and called it 'alternative life style'. We have exploited the poor and called it 'lottery'. We have rewarded laziness and called it 'welfare'. We have committed adultery and called it 'playing around'. We have committed fornication and called it 'having fun'. We have killed unborn children and called it 'choice'. We neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building self esteem'. We have abused power and called it 'politics'. We have converted our neighbour's property and called it 'ambition'.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS.
