“God will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. ”
We are so grateful for your generous giving! We cannot believe all that God has been able to accomplish through generous hearts and prayer partners! I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”-Helen Keller.
Yesterday, I had a rare opportunity to chat about Kenya with a fellow world traveler. He is an incredible photographer who has a heart for Africa and is about to go to Kenya for 3 weeks. It dawned on me that I haven’t had the opportunity/privilege to talk with others in person about the work we are doing in Kenya in so long. I found myself so excited and so darn proud of all that we’ve accomplished and it got me dreaming again for the first time in a long time about the things we still need to do there!
First off, recognizing that when I travel to Kenya it better allows me to be the voice of our brothers and sisters across the globe, I’m prayerfully considering traveling to Kenya in January 2022. However, I need others to join me. Please pray to see if this is something God is putting on your heart. Curiosity? A nudging? A true desire to use your gifts and talents to love on others? All are welcome! Please message me and we will schedule a conversation about it!
Secondly, the pandemic has caused some long-term changes to our sewing program and I’m praying we can reverse those. Our recent graduates completed the classes but did not receive a sewing machine as all other graduates have received and that pains me. Our sewing program has great success in providing skills and income opportunities for its graduates. We have ae waiting list of people who want to join but, we have no funds to continue our classes, let alone provide sewing machines for our graduates. Previous trips to Kenya have allowed me to bring back tote bags and products to sell that have funded our sewing program. Without the sales and donations, we aren’t able to continue. Please read the article in this newsletter and consider donating any amount or sponsoring an adult sewing student!
Lastly, we wait with expectation at all that God has planned with us and through us! Thank you for joining us on this journey!
