Our Give Amore Sewing Students, September 2019. It’s incredible to see how our four year old sewing program is now being used to serve the community at large during this pandemic.
Dearest Partners,
We hope this newsletter finds you safe, healthy and hopeful! I know that so much feels out of our control right now, and it is. But the one thing we can control is our response! We choose to respond to fear with faith. We choose to respond to chaos with peace.
It’s incredible to see how God set the stage four years ago as we began our free sewing school to prepare us for these days as we use it to serve the greater community by providing much needed face masks! In Kenya, if you are caught without a face mask you face 6 months in prison or a $200 fine! We’ve provided over 500 face masks and counting thanks to our generous donors and our Give Amore team! We are beyond thankful!
I’m reminded of this quote:
“ I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
While everything feels beyond our control, we can all choose to spread love, hope and joy. It’s far more contagious than disease! The ripples of what we do now will be felt in the days, months, years and generations to come!
While, we may be a bit behind in sharing photos and updates, please know that our work in Kenya is continuing on and is more important than ever. With no government assistance, no free health care, lack of basic necessities such as water, sewage, electricity and education, we truly are the hands and feet of Jesus to our Kenyan family. THANK YOU for your continued support during these challenging days!
With Much Gratitude and Humility,
Christa Horst
