Been asked this question too many times, and perhaps its about time I set the record straight regarding this matter....as you read this , please bear in mind that this is why I (Zanele Mofokeng) do not have kids....
I believe children deserve to grow in a stable environment, that allows them to feel secure about who they are always, and where all their needs can be met every waking minute of their lives, which just happens to be the direct opposite of the environment my hubby and I live in or signed up for.
Ok, ok, before you start wondering what in God's wonderful earth am I talking about, allow me to explain. My husband and I are missionaries. Soldiers in a spiritual war. What soldier in his right mind would take a child to a war zone? I do not have a say over my own life. I go wherever the Spirit of the Lord sends me, whenever the need arises. Sometimes I can live in two different countries in a year. Imagine my child having to be the new kid in school all the time, never making any real friends, or never able to spend time with family, neither mine nor hubby's.
I was called to serve God. I made the decision to give my LIFE to God for Him to do with it as He pleases. I personally believe that it would be very unfair to drag a child into my sacrifice. I love kids, love them a lot, sometimes I stare at my cute hubby and wonder how cute our kids would be, yet it is the sacrifice we both decided to make, under no compulsion, but at our own free will.
A very dear friend of mine just had a beautiful baby boy and he sent me his picture. I was joking the other day that I like that picture so much I'm practically stalking it. Thats just how much I really do love kids, but believe me I do not regret the decision of not having any of my own. Every time I see people giving their lives to God through our ministry and growing with Him right before our eyes, I know right there that I have more kids than my tummy could ever carry and for them I'm ready to give my life, anytime.

Very inspirational indeed.U're our spiritual mother.
That was a good choice because children should be taken care off and if children suffer you also do emotionaly and you wouldn't be able to do what God assigned you to do. kEEP IT UP GIRL.
God is family and He is wat u make Him b in ur life. I believe dat weather u r a soldier or not, only u limit urself and r nt limited by ur circumstances! Because de Lord is dat of de impossibles! Howeva evry man decides his destiny... So if a soldier wants to go to war with a child, let dem cz our God of de impossibles wil make sure de child survives! Its a matter of chuzing whom u wnt God to serve as in ur life. I wana c de fruit of my womb cum to life, for my own reAsons and I respect de ryt of evRy woman and man to decide upon wt dey wnt in deir lives
Wow
