Judy Mance: A woman of faith and power

Judy Mance is a pastor's wife,  corporate executive,  life coach, teacher and motivational speaker.  She is an epitome of excellence, leadership and service.  She excels in everything that she does may it be as a mother of her two beautiful children, ministry leader or a corporate executive.  She is highly admired by not only her peers but as well as the people outside the corporate world whom she had greatly influenced and touched their lives.

My first encounter with this remarkably outstanding woman was in November 2007 three weeks after we arrived in Calgary, Alberta Canada.  Being new immigrants, she instantly made us feel comfortable.  She was very friendly and accommodating; a trait which up to this day she is very well known of.   I can't think of any woman who has devoted her life to serving God and humanity coupled with steadfast prayer and selfless leadership other than her.  Indeed, she is a woman of faith and power.

A woman of faith and power is a woman whose lifestyle is based on the word of God.  She stands by it and for it in all circumstances.  She is not shaken by any situation but is always firm and strong in her faith, always declaring and believing in the word of God and His faithfulness.

A woman of faith and power is led and filled with the Spirit.  She does not waiver, neither turn to the right or to the left.  She steadfastly focuses and abides in God's plan believing in God's promises and anticipating that in His time God will make all things come to pass. 

A woman of faith and power is Judy Mance.  Thank you for being such a great inspiration and role model to us.  Your Master's Touch family will always be grateful for all the love and care that you have shared with us.  We are humbled and honoured to have met and known you.  We thank the Lord for sending you into our lives.  

Judy Mance, thank you.

A Poem For My Mother

A Mother
By: Jerry Caingcoy

Terisita Canonoy Caingcoy, 70 years old

A mother is bigger than the world
A place only mother’s thrive
A road difficult to veer
That only mother’s dare

A path not for the weak
But for the strong and the brave
A role befitting of a hero
Even her own she gives

A Mother is an extraordinary gift
A light that never flickers
Even in the darkest world
She stands

A mother’s heart can carry
Even the weight of the world
Her strength and power
No language can define

An incredible vessel
That brings forth life
A co-creator and nurturer
That only mother’s fare

Happy Mother's Day!
