24th of October is World Development Information Day

 

24th of October is World Development Information Day.

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of development of information or the other. 

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

We must agree that information has developed from generation to generation.

We have had generations of town criers to megaphone preachers. We’ve had cars and vans moving with loud speakers and also had radio and TV. From the time of infra red to Bluetooth to xender. From telegraph to postal services to emails. We’ve had Skype, facebook, whatsapp, zoom and many others.

How can you suggest that information be improved for the good of all people?

Remember our theme is a way TLF contributes to charity and social development.

People who have falsely assumed that prisoners are all bad so need no charity; orphanages that have diverted foodstuffs have been generalised to reflect all orphanages; or people’s half truths that have prevented social development. Some good meaning people have changed their minds on bringing development to a community because of false communications given them about the feasibility studies. For example someone who wanted to renovate a public clinic or school was shown false pictures of a school and clinic that were fine and needed no help. Whereas, they had no furniture or equipment within!

Truly pictures can be worth a thousand words- but are they words of truth or lies?

Remember Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In all your research, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

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. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
