    The Theology of Rest, Part 1

    By Themba Mafico Rest is the greatest commandment that God gave to humankind as an invaluable benefit as they bear the relentless pressure of their brief sojourn on earth. The Bible shows that God rewarded humans with the gift of rest (Exod 3:14, 1 Kgs 8:56, Isa...

    Hey Dr. Mafico! How are you? I just talked with Maria Church, reminiscing over our Israel trip! We had such a wonderfully blessed good time….and I’m beyond ready to go on our next spiritual endeavor with you! As soon as I gather my coins together, I’ll be on board to wherever you lead us.

    I attended one of the Mafico Leadership Renewal Institute trainings on “Sabbath Rest” and it was a life-changing experience for me! I learned that resting in and with God was required by God. It’s in His word and is not some optional suggestion. This wonderful session was just the motivation that I needed to get back on the horse and to spend some time in the fresh air. Another great takeaway, this session encouraged me to spend a minimum of one hour each day outside, walking, gardening, breathing some fresh air. Before this training, I had hit a wall and stopped my daily walking. Now, I’m excited to start moving again and spending quiet time in God’s presence as I thank Him for the ability to enjoy His creation. I thank the Mafico Leadership Renewal Institute for motivating me to rejuvenate my life. I like this feeling!

    I attended the Mafico Leadership Renewal Institute on Selfcare During a Crisis held on October 27-29, 2020. I am so pleased I did. I learned about the benefits of rest while even during a pandemic. I can now recognize the potential challenges and barriers to my needed rest and spiritual renewal. I am now taking appropriate actions to enjoy the benefits of a stress-free lifestyle. The trainers gave clear and direct answers to my questions during the workshop. Now I have strategies that I can implement to rest on a routine basis. Most of all, I have eliminated the habit of overeating and adopted a healthy lifestyle by eating salads, fewer sweets, drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, and less coffee on a daily basis. My work habits are now stress-free as I have learned to do one task at a time, and that done well. I am so thankful to the Mafico Leadership Renewal Institute.

    Rarely have I attended an event that has enriched my mind, soul, body, and spirit like the Rest and Renewal event with the Mafico Leadership Renewal Institute. I highly recommend it. It was a memorably great experience taught by experienced instructors.
