Childhood Dreams

As a child, I was fascinated with so many dreams from being an actress to becoming an international runway model but as I got older, I realized that those desires were beginning to fade away. They didn’t excite me as they used to as a child but instead, I found myself beginning to withdraw to myself and preferred to work behind the curtains and shadows of others. 

What happened? The death of my mother took a huge toll on me personally and people around me were trying to mold into what they thought was the best way to raise a girl child. I struggled to stay calm and be who they wanted me to be, so that I would not be scolded for trying to be me. 
​

Longing for a Better Future

​As the years passed by, I was looking forward to going to college where I knew I would be away from preying eyes. I could try to be me. But it truly never happened as I was always trying to hide in the shadows of others and be validated by them. 
 
While all this was going on I had given my life to Christ as a young teenage girl in secondary school. Yet I had not truly embraced the love of a loving God until I got into college and I joined a Christian fellowship. I achieved a deeper level of understanding of who God is and how much He loved me and how unique He made me to be.
 
 So, I began the quest to discover who I was and what purpose God had for my life. I had worked in various fields and careers but one thing always stood out and that was my passions. I desired to support young adults who were struggling with who they are. I was also drawn to support women by helping them discover who they are and to have the right values that truly define them. 
​

Discovery of GPS Life Journey

By the time I left college, I got married to the love of my life who saw so much potential on the inside of me.  He was always supportive and pushed me to build on my capacity. It was during that journey of building capacity that I got a text message from one of my mentors, Dr. Yemi Alfred, inviting me on a journey of self-discovery called the GPS Life Journey. 
 
Wow! I was curious and immediately called her to let her know I would sign up. This was in March, 2016. This discovery was the turning point in my life. I was able to truly define myself, understand my personality, my strengths and weaknesses. And, most importantly I discovered God’s purpose for my life. Light and understanding came to me. I began to explore new areas in children’s and youth ministry and women ministry also. 
 
By 2017 I started an NGO for children where we support vulnerable children by sending them back to school and supporting them through training and counselling to help give them hope for a better tomorrow. This year is our sixth year and the Lord has helped us to impact so many children and we are trusting Him to reach more. 

From Nigeria to the United Arab Emirates

​As the Lord would have it, I relocated with my children to join my husband in 2018 who was working in the United Arab Emirates so we could be together as a family. By 2020 covid happened and the whole world was locked down and I started seeking new ways to build myself and also support other people around me. I reached out to Risa Baker, a global GPS Life Journey Facilitator, and told her that I also would love to be a GPS Life Facilitator.She was eager to train me. I was equipped and I went on to train other women. 
 
Today I use it as a tool for coaching and training for the women in the women’s ministry the Lord led to start a year after I relocated to UAE. Because of the real danger of Christian group meetings here, my greatest asset is the ability to facilitate GPS online.
 
GPS Life journey is a sure way to go if you truly desire to discover God’s Plan for living a significant life. Thank you, Nolen Rollins, for developing this. GPS is not a book but a process that you go through to discover God’s purpose for the next stage of your life.

Note from Nolen - GPS Life Journey Facilitators Tip - Do This Daily!

8/9/2022

0 Comments

 
Let us encourage you, if you are a GPS Life Journey Facilitator, to make conversations about GPS Life Journey, a part of what you talk about every day, in all situations.  Or at least most situations. 

You'd be surprised how many times it is appropriate and a natural conversation.  For you to talk about God's purposes for peoples lives. 

The most difficult part about being a GPS Life Journey Facilitator is NOT facilitating a small group.  It is getting people enlisted in a small group. The way you get people enlisted in a small group is you talk about it.  You talk about it wherever you are and with whoever you are meeting with.  Talk about GPS Life Journey and the importance of knowing and fulfilling God's purpose for your life.  

Let us encourage you.  Don't sit and wait for people to come to you!  Make it a part of your daily conversation.  God bless.

For more GPS Life Journey Facilitator tips and support, please join the monthly call, every third Friday at 9am ET. See the Events page to RSVP.

NOTE FROM NOLEN - WHAT DOES PROVERBS 25 HAVE IN COMMON WITH OUR GPS LIFE JOURNEY FACILITATORS?

7/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Greetings from the GPS Life Journey HQ office in Lenoir City, Tennessee.  We hope you are having a great week and that God is using you to make a difference in the lives of others!

Proverbs 25 is one of Nolen Rollin's favorite verses of scripture.  It says the purpose in a man's heart is like deep water but a man of understanding will draw it out.

That's especially significant for GPS Life Journey Facilitators all around the world.  Everybody has a God given purpose.  For most people it is deep in their hearts somewhere and they can't find it!  But a person of understanding, like those of you who are GPS Life Journey Facilitators are a person of understanding, can help draw it out.

Nolen says, "I trust you will continue to be faithful in helping others draw out of their heart God's purpose for the next stage of their lives.  God bless."

Learn more about Renee Medley-Porter from our GPS Life Journey Team.  She is a facilitator and coach.  Her mission is to use the GPS Life Journey process to help individuals and their families deepen their understanding of themselves and of each other. 

As she accomplishes her mission she sees families strengthening connections within and between generations.  She also sees families being able to more effectively encourage and equip each other to grow in their faith and to fulfil their God-given purpose.

She has experienced this with her own extended family as we have shared family GPS conversations at our annual summer gathering.  These prayerfully and carefully facilitated conversations have truly helped us deepen our understanding of ourselves and each other.
