On a cold blustery Sunday morning in January 2017, it was the first time my family and I stepped into the foyer of the Redeemer International Church of The Hague. We were met by a vivacious colorful woman who welcomed us and introduced herself by saying, "Good morning! My name is Rhonda, just like the song "Help Me Rhonda," now you'll never forget!" And she was right, how could we forget? We were from America and very familiar with this popular Beach Boys' song. But besides that, we will never forget this warm welcome and who could guess that this woman would become one of my closest sisters in the Lord - a covenant sister. Rhonda Dikoko is a whirlwind, a dynamo, a beautiful, passionate and committed woman of God. I know of her toil in the Lord, how she gives 100% in everything she does. I've personally experienced this love and compassion at time when I was sick at home for a few weeks. Even though she was working full time, she came almost every day; to check on me, to bring me homemade soup and to give her encouragement. She doesn't know it, but she carried me those weeks and I will never forget the blessing she was to me and my family.
As you read this devotional book, you will see a glimpse of the wonderful woman Rhonda is, but I know with all her heart - she would want you to not see her, but Jesus Christ in her, daily working in her to bring the full glory unto God.
