The Story of TWOS


If it is of God, the devil will shoot.
Yet if it is of God, it will bear fruits.
If it is of God, there will be obstacles.
Yet if is of God, we shall see miracles.
- BT


Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
- Psalm 127:1


On 12 July 2007, two Christian sisters and a brother were sharing with each other their thoughts on their Church's performance over the last more than twenty years, and what could have been done to make it grow more.

After they left that brother, the two sisters continued to talk about the negative comments and murmuring they heard from certain members of the Church.

As they were still talking about it, the Lord spoke to one of the sister's heart, "What is the point of you both talking about it? Why don't you do something about it, instead of becoming just like the people you talked about?"

Instantly, that sister felt convicted by the Lord. Instead of continuing to speak negatively, she told the other sister that they should stop complaining and do something positive to change the situation. They were reminded about what they heard during the Church retreat on the roles of sisters in the Church. Sisters could be a powerful force to help in Church growth. The Lord prompted that sister with the idea of starting a sisters' fellowship.

It was no coincidence that that evening was the Church Board's meeting. The two sisters immediately sms the Board to seek its blessing to start the sisters' fellowship. The Board agreed. Praise God!

Yes, the idea of starting the sisters' fellowship did not come from the two sisters but from God who had planted the seed in their hearts. The sisters just obeyed. The Group's name, TWOS was born, as it is the desire of the two sisters that all the sisters will become women of substance for God.

Ladies, let's don't be NATO (No Action Talk Only) anymore. Let's rise up for God and shine His light around.
