First Week Back

​First week back was filled with so much excitement. God miraculously provided a long-term rental that we could move into so now we will have room to do so much. You can read more stories o on the photos.
We are so grateful to YWAM for the nine months we stayed there. It was such a blessing.
I am so looking forward to what God has in store for us in 2022. With more space and a large vision we will spend much of this month giving our ladies as much work as we can while they still work their own business.
We will be setting up leadership within this group and brainstorming business ideas. We will begin training two of our ladies for management within their group and then begin training others for individual roles in business.
God revealed to me this week that each lady struggles alone in her business. They are tired and still can’t make enough to meet the basic needs of food, shelter and education for their children.
God did not design us to work alone. He is a God of relationship, and community is so important.
I am even more committed to helping them discover their God-given gifts and helping them develop those gifts to work together in business. Please pray for a way out of poverty for them.
We are already working on several projects that we hope to be launching soon. The skills they will be learning will help in their own business and also equip them to run a group business.
Please pray for wisdom, discernment and direction as we move forward. Also pray that God would bring an American intern to help administratively. I could really an extra hand if it’s in His Will.

​GREAT story here. The tall one is Evan. Before I left we ran into him at the watering hole. He was walking back with his water jug on a hand made ladder he made for carrying the heavy jug. I told him what a great idea it was, how he could market and sell them and gave him about $.65 to buy nails. The month I was gone he made and sold many of them and bought himself two hens. Remember hens are the first business toward success here? Pray they stay healthy and that God grants him favor in this new venture.
