The name 'ABOVE RUBIES' comes from
PROVERBS
31:11
WHO
CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMAN, FOR HER PRICE IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES.
The ABOVE RUBIES ministry has
never deviated from its original vision of strengthening the status of
motherhood in the world. While the ministry remains predominately focused
on reaching out to mothers, in recent years God has enlarged the ABOVE
RUBIES ministries vision to include the entire family unit, in particular
reaching the hearts of fathers.
The areas where the ministry reaches out to
men are: e-group, Colin's teaching at family camps, Colin's teaching tapes
and the Patriarch magazine.
The purpose of the magazine, books, camps, web
site, e-groups, etc. is to uphold and strengthen family life and to raise
the standard of God's truth in the nations. The establishing of husband/wife
teams, and the comissioning of field representatives in Australia will
help to bring into fruition the vision of reaching entire families.
The vision of reaching every home needs your financial assistance too.
Right from the conception of the ministry, Nancy and her faithful team
have trusted God, and have freely given magazines to anyone who requested
them without any obligation to pay. The donations of men and women of
God make this possible, so if you feel led, please prayerfully consider
sending in your donation to further the work of the ministry.
Did you know that until recently, precious Val
Stares carried the huge workload alone with very few to assist her? Now
that she has appointed an entire team people to carry out various tasks,
she's realized that she was doing the work of 10 people! May God richly
bless her for her twenty years of faithfully ministering to families throughout
this nation. "We honor you Val, and say "Well done thou good
and faithful servant." Many lives (including mine) have been transformed
by your ministry!"
We will be adding more articles
and notices on a regular basis, so please do not forget to bookmark this
site, and visit us again.
In closing I'd like to share a thought from
a verse I recently read in Galatians 3:14 which talks about the blessing
of Abraham coming on us through Christ Jesus. I looked up the blessing
of Abraham, and the very first blessing was that God would make him a
great nation. Ladies, we are nation builders! Each little baby welcomed
by you is an integral part of a great nation for Christ. Keep building
dear ones!
