18 shimmerzine Spring 2009 Column: Ask Pastor Tammy Tammy Hardeen is currently the Young Adults and Missions Pastor at Malvern Christian Assembly. One of her greatest passions is to motivate this Young Adult generation to live for God wholeheartedly. Tammy has graduated from Masters College and Seminary with a Bachelors Degree of Theology. During her studies at MCS she had the privilege to serve the people in Turkana, Kenya for 3 months. It was a life changing experience for her, one that she will not soon forget.

I am a pregnant teenager and I am considering having an abortion. I am a Christian and I feel very ashamed, condemned and like God does not love me anymore because I’ve let Him down. I also do not know how I will support the baby since the father is not in the picture anymore. What should I do?

I am very glad that you took the time to share what is on your heart, and what you are wrestling with. Let me begin by sharing with you a little bit of God’s character. In Ex. 34:6-7, God gave Moses a little glimpse of His nature as He declared “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.” There are a couple of things in this passage that I would like to draw your attention to. First of all, GOD IS LOVE! God’s love for us is so great that there is nothing we can do that will make Him stop loving us. He abounds in LOVE. And because of His love, He is compassionate and gracious towards us. If there is one thing that you can be sure of, it is God’s love for you! His love never fails. Secondly, GOD FORGIVES. As a result of His great love, and because Christ took the punishment for all sin upon Himself, God can forgive us for the terrible things we do. Even when we go against His Word, He will forgive us. The key is to recognize our sin and bring it before Him. We need to admit our failure, confess our need for Him, and express our desire for forgiveness.

Now, considering the love that God has for you, and the mercy and compassion that He has towards us, is there anything we cannot trust Him with? Please read Romans 8:28 – 39. If He can forgive rebellion and sin, then certainly He is ready and willing to help us deal with the consequences of our sin? The real question is, will we trust Him? The Bible states that God is the One who gives life, and if God is the One who gives life, then nobody but God has the right to take a life, and that includes the life of your own child. An abortion would mean that you are taking the life of your own child, or giving someone else the permission to take that life. Is this something that you would like to be responsible for? While God does forgive us, He also wants to see us make right choices – and has indeed given us the responsibility to make right choices.

God is ready and able to help you raise your child. Know that in a situation like this, His perfect will is that you allow your child to live. And as you are obedient to Him, He will certainly reward you, giving you all you need to raise your child. This does not mean it will always be easy, but it does mean that He will always be with you. So I encourage you to keep your baby, and rest in the God who forgives, and the God who sustains.

28 shimmerzine Spring 2009 shimmerzine Spring 2009 29 EVENTS: On t h e Sc e n e

The Shimmerzine team caught up with the dudes and divas of style at a great event in Toronto: Courtvision’s Black Tie Gala, “The Ball” hosted by Kirk “BabyJordan” Berry. The CourtVision ministry consists of basketball camps offered to at-risk youth throughout the G.T.A. Berry and his team of volunteers, offer coaching in game skills, mentorship, and Christian caring to youth from all backgrounds. Berry hosts his themed fundraising galas or “Balls” bi-annually, showcasing entertainment from local young Christian artists, high fashion and good food. His most recent event held at the Centennial Progress Campus Student Center was a mix of all these elements, albeit tempered by the recent, sobering loss of one of Courtvision’s young participants to gun violence. “The burden of the souls of our youth weighs on me,” Berry revealed to his audience in an emotional moment. “Although the enemy attacks, Courtvision will not stop. This is God’s vi- sion not mine,” Berry affirmed. Perfomers at “The Ball” included Carissa Baron, Revived, Lance Constantine and Soul Purpose Mime. photos by: Jason Carrington

Kirk “BabyJordan” Berry Performing Diaspora: Rights/Rites of Passage. by Phyllicia Broomes. photos by: Andrea de Keijzer.

Performing Diaspora is the innovative flagship project of The Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on the Global Migration of African Peoples. The Institution’s aim is to strengthen the understanding and leadership necessary to develop prosperous, harmonious multicultural communities.

This year’s show was a collaboration of the world’s best African artists: Djembe Drum Master, Billy Nankouma Konaté and Dancer/Choreographer, Sani Abu. Over the course of two weeks, they taught York University students along with community members the joyous Malinke performance traditions. The pieces included: Guineafara, Kasa, Sabar, Soli, Dununba and Wassolon.

The performance took place on February 28, 2009 at the Founders Assembly Hall at York University. Other master drummers, including Mohamed Diaby, graced us with their presence for an “African Jam Session” allowing anyone who got caught up in the music to strut their stuff!!

As a participant with an African dance background, I must say that I have never experienced anything like it. Truly spectacular!
