The President's PageDear Daughters^
This morning I received a telephone call from a gentlewoman in South Carolina. She wasgoing home to Vermont and beginning the first Daughters chapter in the state. My heartfilled with joy. By the time you read this issue of The Royal Cross the women in this chapterwill be installed in the Order. Their journey with us will have just begun. Meanwhile,another chapter in Florida will have celebrated its 100*^^ anniversary. These Daughters have ahistory of faithfulness to their vows. Many prayers have ascended, much service has beenperformed and many women have come closer to God. "Go into all the world and preachthe gospel."Go, tell the story of Jesus and as you go - make disciples. As the Order is established in
new territory, disciples are added to the Kingdom and we can hear— The Applause ofHeaven,Max Lucado.
The work of our Order is done by individual Daughters in individual chapters. You,precious Daughters of the King, are the Order. Disciples are not made by argument but bythe love of Jesus shown through each of us. We pray for supernatural help to keep usfaithful and protected from being beguiled into following the wrong path.
It is vital, dear ones, that as the Order expands we make a greater impact for Him. Hiswork is why our territory is enlarged. I quote from Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, author of ThePrayer of Jabez, "If your friend needs to hear the message of salvation, the Holy Spirit isready now to help you take the first step and say the first sentence. And His will is that youdo it now."
As Daughters we have experienced the wonderful love of Jesus. How can we keep thistreasure for ourselves and refuse to share His love? Others that each of us know are thirstyfor living water. Can we refuse them drink? Let's share with other people what we have inso much abundance: Joy, Love and Light. My prayer for each of you today is that you beblessed in great abundance.
For His Sake

Chaplain's Message, May 2002
The Rt. Rev. Stephen H.Jecko, Chaplain
Bishop of Florida
Dear Sisters in Christ,
A class studying the wonders of theworld was asked to list what they thoughtwere the greatest Seven Wonders of the
World. Though there was somedisagreement, the following received the
most votes: The Great Pyramids of Egypt;the Taj Mahal; the Grand Canyon; thePanama Canal; the Empire State Building;St. Peter's Basilica; and the Great Wall of
China.
When gathering the votes, the teachernoted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn'tturned in her paper and was still writing.She asked the girl if she washaving trouble with her list. ^^^ShinicThe girl replied, "Yes, a little. I ̂ Wonders (couldn't make up my mindbecause there were so many." , . ̂The teacher said, "Well, tell us ^what you have and maybe we 'can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think theSeven Wonders of the World are: to touch,
to taste, to see, to hear, to feel, to laugh, and
to love." The room was filled with
deafening silence. It's far too easy for us tolook at the exploits of humanity and refer tothem as "wonders." Far too often we
overlook God's gifts and all He has done forus and regard them as merely"ordinary." (Good Shepherd, Jacksonville,Sunday bulletin)
It's the ordinary gifts of God that, becausewe treat them as ordinary and not
"wonders," often catch us off guard causingeither great joy or great sorrow. The girl'slist of wonders included six behavioral
words and or\Iy one about feelings.Summer, and traditional wedding time is
upon us. If we examine a very familiar
passage from scripture, often read at
weddings, we find St. Paul speaking inexclusively behavioral words: Love is
patient... kind ... does not envy ... doesnot boast... is not proud. Love is notrude ... is not self-seeking ... is not easilyangered ... keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. Love always protects ...
f the trusts ... hopes ... and perseveres. (Ithought Corinthians 13:4-7) Would that grooms andof the brides, soon to be husbands and wives,
truly hear God's Word that love is aved the behavior before it is a feeling. Weddings areif Egypt; about feelings; marriages are about: the behavior. Not just in marriage, but in all ourluilding; human relationships, the divine will of GodWall of can be found when we practice loving,
godly behavior as earnestly as we seek aeacher spiritual "high" in the emotional roller•1, hadn't coaster of life.

Give Yourself A Gift^Come To Trienniail
By Sharon Lundgren, Triennial Chair
Triennial 2003 is in Minneapolis, MN, July
24-28, 2003. Our theme is "Streams of LivingWater." The theme comes from John 7:38,
when Jesus said, "Out of your believing heart
shall flow streams of living water."
Our teaching leader will be author Richard
J. Foster. Many Daughters are familiar with
his books: Prayer and Celebration of Discipline.His most recent book. Streams of Living Water
will be our teaching tool, along with HolyScripture. The six streams that Mr. Foster
presents are: the Contemplative, or prayer-filled life; the life of Holiness, or the virtuous
life; the Charismatic, or Spirit-filled life; the
life of Social Justice, or the compassionate life;the Evangelical, or Word-centered life; and
the Incamational, or sacramental life.
Mr. Foster is the foimder of an ecumenical
ministry called Renovare, an infrachurch
movement committed to the renewal of the
Church in all her multifaceted expressions. As
Daughters of the King, we reach out to
Anglican, Episcopal, Roman Catholic,
Lutheran and Orthodox women. Mr. Foster
will include on his teaching team: Roman
Catholic author, Emilie Griffen and Episcopalpriest, Felicia Smith-Graybeal. Felicia's
husband, Lyle Smith-Graybeal, will be
conference coordinator to the teaching team.
Do you know which stream the Lord has
plunged you into? Are you a Contemplative,
or Evangelical, or is your passion SocialJustice? Believe me, you are definitely in atleast one of the streams, and you may be inseveral. Our Lord Jesus of course exemplifiesall the streams!
As Daughters we want to celebrate our
diversity of gifts at Triennial, and see how theLord brings all these streams together into thegreat River of the Holy Spirit. Everyone iswelcome and all are needed, so we can more
clearly see the fullness of our ministrytogether as Daughters of the King.My first Triennial was in 1991 in Phoenix,
and I was thrilled and excited. Then came
Indiana, and I said 1 could not miss another
Triennial event! Next came Philadelphia, andon to New York and Church of the
Resurrection—our birthplace. Then cameDenver, rejoicing on the mountaintop! Nowcomes Minneapolis, and the headwaters of the
Mississippi greet us for Streams of Living
Water.
Give yourself the gift of our TriennialRetreat 2003. See old friends and make new
ones. Meet missionaries, council members, Jr.
DOK; explore the workshops, see theMinneapolis sites, and enjoy the triennial
experience. As Jesus said, "Whoever drinksthe water that I give will never thirst again."John 4:13
Next Royal Cross will have Junior DOK
details, registration information, and much
more!

Triennial Chair
Nominations for National Council OfficesIt is time to be thinking of nominations for
election to National Council at Triennial 2003
When considering Daughters as candidates forelection, it is important to think about what
spiritual gifts as well as talents they wouldbring to the Council. It is a real privilege to beelected to Council but with it carries the
responsibility in helping make decisions forthe work of the Order to be carried out.
Prayerfully, seek God's guidance before askinga Daughter if she is willing to stand for
election.
As stated in the National Handbook on Page
66: "Each Diocesan Assembly may nominate
one member of the Order for election to
National Coimcil, having obtained her consent.
The name and qualifications of the membernominated must be sent to the National Office
by January 1 of the National Convention year."Eligibility for nomination: To be eligible for
election to National Council, a Daughter must
be current in the payment of dues, must have
held some office in a chapter, diocesan
assembly or provincial assembly, and must
have been a member of the Order at least three
(3) years."

April Executive Board MeetingThe Executive Board met at the National
Office, April 14-16, 2002, with all memberspresent except for our Advisor, Ethel Ripley.President Joan Millard called our
meetings to order after times of spiritualreflection and prayer.
Highlights of the business discussedincluded: Our accountant Mr. Earls gave his
report on the financial status of the Order.He reported that tremendous progress hadbeen made since September 1 to reduce thedeficit. However, there is still a long way to
go to eliminate operating with a deficit. Herecommended an increase in dues and
lifetime memberships. Extra contributions ofapproximately $40,000 have been given. Hestressed the need for more office staff.
The Order continues to grow rapidly.
Since September 1, 2001, 76 new chaptershave been added. Praise God!
Linda Van, director of operations,updated us on the office workload andagain stressed the need for more office help.
The change over to the new computer system,
and training has been very time-consumingand created a backlog of data to be entered in
all areas of the office.
A total of 9,347 members are not current on
their dues. This creates a continuing deficit
and is very time consuming for the staff to getthe second dues notices out, at a cost of
approximately $3,000 in
extra postage alone.
First Vice President, ^Sharon Lundgren, ; ^
updated us on the plansfor Triennial. There will
be a site visit to the hotel
in Minneapolis at the
end of June.

Notes from the Treasurer
Here are excerpts from a letter I recentlyreceived from Linda Harris of Farmington,
NM, which I want to share with you:
"I was in Spring, Texas, visiting my
daughter and her family and I called SharonLundgren. I shared with her that God hasbeen telling me that I needed to give $10.00someplace to help. When I got my Royal Crossand read about the shortage to the GeneralOperating Fund, I realized that this was myanswer to God's request. I know $10.00 isn'ta lot, but that's what God told me to give. I
belong to the St. Anne and Joachim Chapterof the Daughters of the King."
Thanks be to God for people like Lindawho hear and listen to His call to them and
graciously, lovingly, and generously respondto that call. So far, we have received about
$40,000 this fiscal year in contributions forwhich we give thanks. We continue to be lowin the Operating Fund because dues havebeen slow in coining in.
Spring 2002
I am sure you don't like to hear about
financial problems in the Royal Cross. Neitherdo 1.1 sincerely wish that I didn't have to sayanything about finances at all. I wish wedidn't have a problem. But we do, and I
would be remiss if I didn't relay this message
to you and ask for your help.
By the time you receive this issue of theRoyal Cross, it will be time to pay dues for thenext fiscal year, beginning September 1. It
will be a tremendous help to us if you willsend your dues in on time so we will knowwhat we have to work with and so that we
will not have to send reminders. It is very
expensive to send dues notices and thatmoney could be used for other purposes. Acontribution to the Operating Fxmd in
addition to your dues will be greatly
appreciated and used wisely. We pray dailyfor God to show us what to do in all of our
operations.

Daughters themselves. This only serves toassure us that the Holy Innocents event is forus not only to serve, but especially for thebuilding up of the Saints, the Young Saints, ifyou will. Praise God for that.Holy Innocents and PrayerI consider Holy Innocents a day of prayer
for Junior Daughters of the King. This conceptof prayer must continue and should be aninternational day of prayer for JuniorDaughters everywhere and all children. Thetheme still echoes—children praying for andwith children; the missing, the abused, thehungry, the imprisoned, and alsomemorializing those who have died.
We can not think that because we do nothear about the final results of a child that was
missing being found, or one that was abusedor hungry being comforted, or the one inprison we have not yet gone to visit, that weshould think that our prayers were of noavail. At most we will never know that God
has heard our prayers and answered them.We may never know until we get to heavenhow some child was saved because another
child prayed. I believe you children need toknow that God answers the prayers ofchildren. You must trust, love, obey, andserve Him. He answers your prayersaccording to His good will for you.
If you are praying for yourself, your family,your friends, or children around the world,please do not stop! Jesus loves and cares foryou and you should care for others. Prayingleads to action.

Daughters-at-Large
The Spring GardenGreetings to Daughters-at-Large in the
name of our Lord Jesus Qirist. I have a
beautiful spring garden composed of newfriends who have responded to the firstedition of Bloom Where You are Planted, a
newspage for Daughters-at-Large. I havereceived close to 300 responses by mail,
email, and calls from all over this nation.
Sixteen hundred copies of the first issue were
mailed. If you did not receive a copy, pleaseuse the form below to add your name to theDAL database.
Responses were uniformly favorable,
thanks be to God. Over 100 copies werereturned, however, for these reasons: no
forwarding address, forwarding time expired,
inaccurate address, or deceased. Daughters,since you are not in a chapter, you are the
one responsible for sending an addresschange to the National Office. Please don'tbecome "Missing While Active!"Due to a computer glitch (they do happen),
the names of all Daughters-at-Large were
deleted from last fall's dues mailing by
National Office. Since most of us wait until
billed, many of you did not send in dues. Thenewspage reminder served to generate a flow
of dues. Thank you for supporting the workof the Order at every level in this manner.
If you do not receive a provincial ordiocesan newsletter, please notify me inorder that you may read about the various
means of being in touch with other
Daughters and their events. I can help youlocate a nearby chapter with which to shareprayer needs and service ideas.Our president, Joan Millard, has asked us
to be in prayer for our nation, its servicepersonnel, and the cause of peace. When over21,000 women are in prayer, the support ispowerful. Even if we are not able to be active,zve can pray. Prayer is our first vow as
Daughters.Slowly I will be in touch with those for
whom I have an address, a telephone
number, or an email address. I pray for youdaily. We do it all for His sake.

What kind of a stream are you?Are you a free flowing, clear, deep bubbling with energy stream?Are you a cloudy, silt clogged, slow moving shallow stream?
Are you a struggling, boulder blocked to a narrow flowing stream?Carol Gaskill Are you a filled with twigs, leaves, branches, or possibly the whole tree keeping you from
Devotions/Worship moving stream?Are you a frozen, ice stalled waiting for a hot spot stream?
Are you an underground, hard to find desert stream?Are you one of the thousands upon thousands of streams that flow in a thousand different
ways?
Find your stream and don't worry if it changes every so often. It is not meant to be the sameway all the time.
The important thing is to know who to go to when help is needed and when it is your turn tohelp another stream.
So let us journey together finding our streams, sharing our streams, and creating a crescendoof Living Waters.
First Roman Catiioiic Chapter in Fiorida
Kathryn WohnoutkaRoman Catholic
Representative
On January 13, 2002,1 had the privilege ofpresenting the charter to the first Florida
Roman Catholic chapter, Rachel, at HolyName of Jesus Catholic Church in Indiatlantic
FL.
Three National Board members: Doris
Bradley, Province 4 President; Barbara Ward,International Chairman; and Gerry Sweeting,Junior Daughters Chairman; plus a number ofFlorida diocesan officers, accompanied me onthis historic occasion. President Ann Kirchhoff
provided the enthusiasm behind this new
chapter and two Episcopalian Daughters, PatDooley and Agnes Wickersham, helpedprovide the training and their chapterprovided a beautiful reception.On March 28 we buried one of our sisters,
Tracey Moger, who died after giving birth toher fourth child, a beautiful little girl. Traceywas a founding member of the Virgin ofGuadalupe Chapter at St. Cyril of AlexandriaRoman Catholic Church in Houston, TX. In
her memory, we are collecting donations to
purchase a white DOK vestment to be worn
by our clergy when our current greenvestment is not the correct color. Please send
your donations made out to "Daughters of the
King," to me at my home address; 15106 Mira
Vista Drive, Houston, TX 77083.1 will be
arranging, in the next few months, to have the
vestments made by local nuns who have done
a beautiful job for us in the past.On September 28, the Fall Assembly of the
Diocese of Galveston Houston will spend aquiet day in prayer and walking the labyrinthat St. Justin Martyr Roman Catholic Church.
Watch for more details this summer.
With spring in bloom, I close with a
scripture from Romans 5: 3-5 which speaks of
hope. "... we know that affliction makes forendurance, and tested endurance for tested
virtue, and tested virtue for hope. And this
hope will not leave us disappointed, because
the love of God has been poured out in ourhearts through the Holy Spirit who has beengiven to us."

Floating an Evangelism BoatUpon the Contemplative Stream
Richard Foster has said we travel several
different types of streams at different times inour lives.
In considering our pledge to evangelize
(that is, to spread Christ's Kingdom) not onlyas Daughters but as Christians, it occurs to
me we may evangelize through all the
streams, or traditions.
Evangelizing through the contemplativestream is where we prepare our little boat for
its travels. This preparation is crucial as it
determines how well we will evangelize andhow deeply we will draw strength from the
gifts of the contemplative stream.How do we prepare our boat for an
unknown, terrifying, sorrowful, joyful,peaceful, turbulent journey? Well, perhaps it
is rather like a personal "garage sale." Have
you been to, or organized a garage sale?There are items there so worthless they are
just being tossed out. We have garbage and
excess baggage that we must jettison; we
must release, in order to navigate the
contemplative stream. Our little boats will beswamped if we do not continually "garagesale" our way out from under old hurts,angers, fears, and sorrows.We need a light, trim craft to "go with the
flow," to open our hearts, minds, and actionsto Him. To obtain "Shekinah" —to rest in
God's Presence, to know the joy of Jesus is
nearly to burst with love of Him.Consider some of those persons whom
Foster includes as members of the
contemplative tradition. Are they not thevery manifestations of qualities for whichDaughters must strive by the very nature ofour vow and motto?
John of the Cross (1542-91)—We know
more of Shakespeare than of John of theCross, yet his The Dark Night of the Soul,speaks so clearly to Daughters who haveendured and prevailed through pain andloss.
What Daughter does not long for the lifedescribed by Thomas Kelly, the Quakercontemplative, who claimed, "Life from the
Center is a life of unhurried peace andpower. It is simple, serene, amazing,
triumphant, and radiant." Oh, to attain that
Center!
And consider Clare of Assisi and her Poor
Clares (poor ladies). They founded an orderbased upon Jesus' poverty, their own work,and freewill love offerings to support them.No fund-raising for them, either! Actually,there are those who believe Clare of Assisi
wrote the "Instrument of Peace" prayer that
is usually attributed to St. Francis.
Madame Guyon (1648-1717) may surelyinspire all Daughters. She wrote beautifullyand influenced John Wesley, Watchman Nee,
and William Cowper. Two lines of a poemshe wrote from prison have burnedthemselves into my brain, "My very dungeon
walls are dear because the God 1 love is
here"—Such faith, such love! We maysubstitute many phrases—"my walls of pain
are dear—my walls of frustration are dear—
my walls of bruised ego are dear..." Howbeautifully may Jesus write upon our hearts
when we prepare a place for him to do so byclearing the decks, trimming the sails, andsteering our craft through the stream of
contemplation.We thank our Gracious Lord for the
examples who have gone before us—Marywho "pondered all these things" even as ateenager and for the veryleader of the contem- Iplative tradition, Jesus of I yNazareth, whose Gospel I Mis one of love and peace.
God grant theDaughters
journeys Jwithin the
stream, and
may our sails befilled with, and onlyfilled with, the pure and mrighteous Breath of God.

From the National Office
A Year of Challenge and Change
Linda Van
Director of Operations
There is a true sense of disbelief when I
realize that almost a full year has passed sinceI came to the National Office in Woodstock.
So much has occurred in such a short time.
The chapel is complete now with a lovely altarand the Cross of the Order mounted behind it.
The Stations of the Cross have been placed onthe adjoining wall. With the blessing from apriest and celebration of Eucharist, our chapel
has become a quiet,
peaceful dwelling place
for the Lord. I have
traveled to Kanuga, NC,
and Houston, TX, and it
has been my pleasure to
meet Daughters fromacross our nation. It has
been a year of transitionsthat included new soft-

has been a mighty
opportunity for growth,
blessings, and grace. Godcertainly has blessed me
with a wonderful staff. It
has been a joy workingwith Sharon Stills,
Dorothy Elway, KathyRoonan—our full time
staff, and Lani Baxter,
Nadine Pope, Gail Little,
and Janis DeCoster—our
part-time people. These are women of grace,joy and love with a lively sense of humor.Each is dedicated to serving the Daughters ofthe King in their daily tasks and each has
special, God-given gifts. Working at theNational Office is not only their job, but it is
also their ministry of service. I have grownprofessionally and personally working withthese ladies.
Our computer woes at the National Officehave grown by leaps and bounds. It is truethat when you are stretched beyond yourcapabilities, you will leam and grow. A large
portion of our hardware has been replacedand the software has been upgraded to newerversions. The implementation of new software
to handle membership and finances has pro
vided the national office with a huge oppor
tunity for growth. The staff continues to findnew and better means of handling the extra
ordinary growth of the Daughters of the King.Active membership at the end of April stands
at 21,821 members. The downside of that
growth has been a marked downturn inproductivity. Problems with the software
have caused errors in chapter lists, contribution acknowledgements, dues receipts, andlost data. We pray the Daughters will continue to understand and be patient while we
work through these problems to viablesolutions. We also ask for your help in certainareas:
1. Please print legibly or type yourcommunications to us. It is very importantthat we are able to enter the correct spelling of
Getting dues notices prepared for mailing took many volunteers and took over the Chapel for many days.

cannot read what you have sent, we cannot act
upon it.
2. Use the forms provided in the national
handbook. Review the forms for correct
information and required signatures beforemailing to the national office. Please signlegibly. A complete telephone number requires
an area code and a complete address requires azip code.3. Provide complete and accurate information
about diocesan and chapter officers to thenational office.
4. Anyone interested in starting a new senioror junior chapter should immediately contactthe National Office and her diocesan presidentand stay in touch constantly with the diocesanpresident during this initial stage of start up.Following the correct procedures at thebeginning insures a smooth institution of achapter and admission of Daughters.5. Please allow six weeks for orders. It is not
always a case of just putting a handbook in anenvelope to mail. A new chapter requires a lotof paperwork at the National Office. All ordershave to be reviewed for accuracy of information
and payment. We carmot ship orders with shortpayments or incomplete forms. Because we areshipping approximately twenty to thirty ordersa day, we ask that you assist us by sendingyour orders in a complete and timely manner.6. Please do not staple your documents. It
slows the process of handling your order and/or payment.

addresses, receiving dues notices
when you have paid, not
receiving your copy of The RoyalCross, etc., can only be fixed if
you let us know—so keep intouch.
Future hopes include an
expanded updated website toinclude forms, to complete theconstruction of the chapters page,
an archives page, and a page withmore information about starting
new senior and junior chapters. I
would also like to have all our
literature stored in our computer
so that revisions and printing canbe done more easily and with less
expense. A physical reorganization of our work area used to
fill and ship orders, complete
with cabinets and bins, is on the
list for this next year.
I consider it a privilege to workat the National Office and 1 am
truly impressed by the Order andall the women who are Daughters
of the King. Your dedication toprayer and service, your financialsupport for missions, and yourspirituality are beyond any that Ihave encountered to date. I
commend all the Daughters for all
they do, and 1 feel honored to be asmall part of your organization.

Self-Denial Fund at Work
Five Talents Works in UgandaA
Thanks to the Daughters of the King Self-DenialFund and its generous gift of $4,000 in 2001, FiveTalents International was able to help more than28 poor entrepreneurs, mostly women, in theDiocese of Kigezi, Kabale, Uganda. The loans givenout averaged about $140 US dollars and are
enough for mothers like Joyce whose husband diedof AIDS to start a clothing business to support herfive children. Below is a story and an update thatcan be used in any publication you wish. We aregrateful for your prayers and support.God Bless,
Craig Cole, Executive DirectorFive Talents International
Lydia Tushabe enjoys being in business. Shestarted out with a little hair salon in a little
room by the side of a road that nms intoKabale. With her loan from the Five Talents
funded program she was able to open a retailshop with primary sales in bananas. Lots ofbananas. She purchases in bulk and then actsas a wholesaler, selling smaller quantities toothers, who in turn sell the bananas in area
village markets. "I very much like the groupweekly meetings where we talk aboutbusiness and then pray to God that Hecontinue to strengthen us," she said.
Lydia's family is just one of the 350 familiesbeing helped by the Diocese of Kigezi—FiveTalents International program that promotesand provides micro-business training andmicro-credit loans to poor entrepreneurs. Theprogram also integrates biblical teaching onstewardship and business values. The Dioceseof Kigezi is located in the Kabale District inthe southwestern part of the coimtry near theRwanda border. The unemployment rate ishigh and there are more than 50,000 AIDS/
Page 16
HIV orphans.In February and March 2002, a team visited
the Diocese of Kigezi to support the six-monthold program. Mr. Craig Cole, ExecutiveDirector, Five Talents International; Mr.
Everett Post, a Five Talents programconsultant; Ms. Shirley Black, a member of theFive Talents Advisory Coimcil; and Mr. BobHiett, a proposal writer made up the team.Each of them represented a different church inNortihem Virginia, including Immanuel on theHill, Alexandria, VA; Truro Episcopal Church,Fairfax, VA; All Saints Episcopal Church,Woodbridge, VA.; and Holy ComforterEpiscopal Church, Vienna, VA."I was touched by how hard the people
work," Hiett said. "It's amazing how muchthey can do with so little."
Besides visiting with the families benefitingfrom the program, the group spent hoursworking with the Five Talents East AfricanRegional Director, the Rev. Jonathan
Byamugisha, drafting a plan that has as itsgoal making the Five Talents program self-sufficient in three years. This means that theinterest and fees paid along with the principalof the loan will cover all the operational costsand there will still be funds left for loans. This
three-year plan was replicated in the Dioceseof South Rwenzori and the Diocese of
Namirembe in Uganda.Five Talents is also funding micro-
enterprise development programs in India,Philippines, Bolivia and other countriesaround tiie world. For more details go to theirwebsite at www.fivetalents.org or call 703-242-6016 or 1-800-670-6355.

Another Self-Denial Fund Recipient
To God be the GioryBy Kim Smith, M.D.
Kijabe Hospital, Kenya, East Africa
"With gratitude to God, faith in Christ Jesus,
and dependence on the Holy Spirit, I publiclyprofess my intent to practice medicine for theglory of God." This was the Christian physicianoath I took long ago. This becomes more real tome as I serve as medical missionary at KijabeHospital in Kenya. For the past three years, I
have sought to practice medicine for the gloryof God. God has taught me many lessons aboutHimself through the patients He brought to mypath.
I met Grace during my first month at Kijabe.During our first office visit, it was clear to me
that Grace had end-stage cervical cancer.Patients like Grace come in great number to
Kijabe. Most often, their medical problems arefar more complex than all of us are trained tohandle. I came home that day with deepsorrow because I felt completely powerless. I
could see the pain in Grace's eyes and thedisbelief in her voice that I, the great doctorfrom America, could not give any curative
treatment.
You see, Grace was only 31 years old and
had 5 small children at home. Through Grace,
God taught me that He did not bring me toAfrica to offer physical healing for all mypatients. The most important thing was that Istood there, holding Grace's hands, prayingwith her. I told Grace that Jesus loves her and
He is the only one who can give her true hopeand a complete cure.Grace died shortly thereafter, rejoicing in the
knowledge of our loving heavenly father. Afterher death, I couldn't pretend any longer that Iam going to heal everyone who came to Kijabe.From that moment, I became deeply aware that
our medical endeavors and the mission of the
cross are completely intertwined.Gundi came to see me just a few months ago.
She is only 14 years old and has been drippingurine for one year since the birth of herstillborn child. Her husband brought her back
to her parents' house and took another wife.After three months, her family built her a small
hut to stay insince they, too, \
could not stand . J Y
the smell. There 4 ̂in the small dark pR •hut, Gundi ^
stayed by her- ^
day after
alone and afraid
her own
shadow.
Gimdi suffered from a vesicovaginal fistula,a hole between the bladder and vagina,resulting from the obstructive labor she
underwent. Since there were not any hospitals
around where she lived, she tried to have the
baby at home. After 3 days of hard labor and 12hours of pushing without success, the stillbornbaby finally passed a day later. As she waslying in complete exhaustion, she noticed urinecoming out through her vagina. As she walked,
the dripping became worse and worse.Vesicovaginal fistula is a devastating
problem for young and poor women likeGundi. They are social outcasts. Wherever they
go, they leave behind a putrid smell of urine.They are afraid to leave their houses. Mostdon't go to church. They are isolated, separatedfrom their tribe, their family and their society.
They are the poorest of the poor, the loneliest ofthe lonely. I often wonder how many young
women like Gundi are sitting alone in their
huts, without any hope for a physical healing,unable to hear the message of Jesus Christ forlack of any human contact. I am praying that
God would give us a way to find these women
and bring them back to Kijabe for theircorrective surgery.
Patients like Grace, Gundi, and many others
continue to remind me again and again how
much I need to depend on our God. Godcontinues to seek to set me free from mydependence on my own strength so that I candepend on Him. God's supernatural provisionis most recognizable when I find myself in awilderness devoid of any self-sufficiency.

Lives in Action
Some years ago, when I became a Daughter, afriend told me there was a thrilling lifeexperience waiting for me. She was correct! As I
travel I ask Province VIII Daughters (Junior andSenior) to share their life-changing experiences!With God's grace I have learned we all have
experienced the greatest blessings of our faithwhen our minds, our emotions, and our wills
are joined in prayer, service, and study for God.There are new lives in action all over this
Province. Retreats, small groups gathering eachweek to faithfully pray for the needs of others,Bible Studies, visitations, feeding the needs of
others, and the list goes on and on! Thesefaithful women present Christianity in the lightof their current day and world around them,sharing God's love and grace
As the Province VIII board travels this
geography-challenged province, California toAlaska, Hawaii, and Taiwan, our lives are so
enriched by what is happening in the chaptersand by our Daughters at Large!September 20-22, 2002, Province VIII looks
forward to our DOK Province Retreat at the
Menucha Retreat Center in Corbut, OR; outside
Portland, OR. The Rt. Rev. Edmond Browning,
Presiding Bishop-retired, will honor us as our
retreat leader!
Remember my Sisters, Jesus is calling each of
us by name and He is guiding us and our
communities of Daughters of the King.
—Sally Nichols, DOK Province VIII President

The Winter 2002 issue of The Royal Cross generated much mail-email and snail mail, and even a few phone calls. We appreciate all ofyour comments and prayers. Thank you!We also continue to receive pictures and stories about Daughters
and their missions around the world. Keep those coming as well,and we will endeavor to include as many as we can in upcomingissues.
A couple of suggestions: please, please, include the full name ofyour chapter, church, diocese (if appropriate), city, and state. Beinga relatively new daughter, I'm not familiar with where every chapteris located. I've been able to figure out which states are in whichprovinces, but I understand there are at least 2 states (Missouri andLouisiana) that are divided between two provinces. Including yourprovince would be helpful at least those of you who live in Missourior Louisiana. Without your city, state, and province, I can only guesswhere you are.
Another thing—and this reminds me of our prayer ".. .1 cannot doeverything, but I can do something.. ."—my something is theeditorial part of the magazine. I don't have anything to do withmailing address changes, dues, or otiier business of the Order. Pleasesend those requests to the National Office.
Here are some of the comments we have received:
Just finished reading the latest Winter 2002 edition of The Royal Crossand enjoyed every bit of it. Loved your article on yourself and how you gotto be the new Editor...
— Gwen Smith, Renton, WA
I am writing to register a serious concern with the poem of reflection on9/11 that appeared in this issue of The Royal Cross. It bothered me on somany levels, and I strongly feel that it should not have appeared in thispublication.. .So much of what appeared in the Royal Cross was uplifting.This was not one of those pieces, and I would strongly encourage us toavoid pieces like this in the future. If this were any other publication, Iwould be canceling my subscription.
—Rose Hayden-Smith, Ventura, CA
Reading the Royal Cross was such an informative pleasure. Having beena church secretary for part of my professional life, I appreciate your acute
juggling act.—Susie Copley, Charlotte, NC
I eagerly read every word of The Royal Cross which arrived yesterday.Thank you for a terrific job! I have been a Daughterfor less than a year andhave not really had a good sense of the worldwide scope of the Order. Yourarticles about the upcoming Triennial Convention, the Daughters inHonduras, the recipients ofMasters funds, and all thefaces with the nameshave helped me to a greater understanding of who we are and what we do.Thank you!
