I visited our sewing program in October, and I am AMAZED at their progress! They made choir robes, shorts, skirts, and even children's dresses. One of our students even made his own school uniform! They are doing a fantastic job.
The Praiseworthy Deeds of the Lord
Psalm 78:4 is one of my favorite verses. It says, We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.
What an awesome verse. I think these phrases are particularly powerful...
"We will not hide."
"We will tell."
"The praiseworthy deeds of the Lord."
"His power."
"The wonders he has done."
In this world, it is all too easy to take credit for something you didn't do. For example, this ministry is here today, because of God. Not me. He gets ALL the credit. I get the blessing of being chosen, for some unknown reason, to help bring it about, and I am honored.
And that is why...
I will not hide.
I will tell.
The praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.
HIS power.
The wonders HE has done.
I look forward to sharing with you all that God does through this ministry. To Him be the glory!
In the Classroom
It has been an exciting week here at the ministry! The sewing classes started on Monday, and we couldn't be more excited! We are very impressed with our teachers (shown in the picture above) and our new students. Here's a few pictures of our students on their first day of school. They start each day with (1) hour of classroom instruction, and then (2) hours of hands-on sewing time. As you might imagine, we need all types of sewing supplies for the hands-on portion of our class - scissors, thread, tape measures, fabric, etc. We are purchasing the sewing supplies in Port-au-Prince, which helps keep the money in the Haitian economy. Interested in helping us stock our sewing classrooms? Visit our Needs page to learn how a donation in any amount can make a big difference to our students.
We look forward to all the great things God will do through this sewing program.
To Him be the glory!
