As a follow up to our Women's Ministry Dinner and a Movie: "The Good Lie", we are excited to present this documentary about one of the main actor's in the movie, Emmanuel Jal.  It is an incredible story!


Emmanuel Jal’s Story
“Left home at the age of seven/one year later I’m carryin’ an Ak-47.” For hip hop artist Emmanuel Jal, a former child soldier in Sudan’s brutal civil war, these lyrics are hardly empty posturing. They are the bitter reality of a young man who was “forced to sin” but determined to “never give up and never give in.” Today, wounded but still hopeful, Emmanuel Jal fights a new battle: bringing peace to his beloved Sudan and building schools in Africa. This time, his weapon is a microphone. See why audiences from New York to Berlin to London rave about the award-winning film, War Child, and have embraced the hip-hop artist with a terrifying past and a gentle soul. Interspersing original interviews, live concerts, and rare footage of Emmanuel Jal as a seven year-old boy, War Child will make viewers cry, laugh, dance, and celebrate the power of hope.

When: Saturday, 14 November, 6:30pm-9:30pm
Where: 1/F YouthworX Hall, Christian Centre
Cost: $80 per person (movie food: hot-dogs, popcorn, treats....)
(Paid by cash or cheque to St Andrew's Church by Tuesday 10 November to secure space.)

St Andrew’s Women’s Ministry seeks to:

 

Love like Jesus

With a variety of events designed to welcome ALL women, no matter what stage of life or faith, to meet, share, learn, and grow.  We want to help women become more connected into the life of the church; or perhaps to hear the gospel for the very first time.  

Rely on God like Jesus

With events focused on teaching from the Word of God so that women can grow in faith becoming more and more equipped to “give a reason for the hope that we have in Jesus”.  At home, at work, at play.

Be a friend like Jesus

With smaller studies and Growth Groups so women can support, encourage and build each other up through studying God’s Word together, praying together, sharing both joy and pain together. 

Be unafraid Like Jesus

 We hope to see the Women of St Andrew’s putting faith in action and reaching deeper into the community with the Love of God! 

 

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”  - Hebrews 10: 23-25
