Event: With God, Nothing is Impossible

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God

This event is for those who have wanted to succeed in life, but have been unable to, no matter how hard they tried. It’s for those who feel like their problems are impossible to solve.

It’s for those who feel like their problems are impossible to solve. They’ve been everywhere, looking for help from doctors, lawyers, therapists, and even consulting spiritists, witchcraft and the occult — but their lives keep spiralling downward and they’re at the end of their rope.

That’s where the “Nothing Is Impossible” event comes. The pastors of the UCKG Help Centre will give you practical guidance about your problems, but more importantly, will cry out to God for you to reverse the impossible cases in your life.

Jesus said: … if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE for you. (Matthew 17.20)

Everyone who attends one of the sessions will get a FREE small bottle of blessed water blended with genuine drops of water from the water well at the Temple of Solomon in Brazil. This water will serve as a point of contact, a tangible way for you to use your faith and connect with God.

We challenge you to come with your problems and see for yourself what God can do in your life. If you would like more information or to reserve your bottle of water, please call our 24-hr helpline on (09) 262 2286 or 021 501 271.

Fixing a broken smile - a denture success story

Wendy Maloney from Denture Concepts

We recently had the pleasure of replacing an old, worn set of complete dentures for a patient in our clinic. The existing dentures had been in a poor state for some time and the brief was clear from the outset: a better fit, and where possible, an improvement in aesthetics.

A great amount of bone structure had been lost, but we were able to rectify the inadequate fit and provide the patient with something much more usable. As an added bonus we obtained a genuine improvement in aesthetics.

Using the enigma colour tone system enabled multiple layers and shades of acrylic to be built into the denture to replicate natural gum. We worked on an enhanced contour simulating how teeth naturally emerge from the tissue. The end result was a pleasing smile and a patient who, after a long time, felt comfortable smiling again!

The patient was so pleased with the results they sent us a lovely card to say “thank you for taking care of me”.
