The joy of a sewing machine

July 26, 2008
Here is my friend, Patience Booi, one of ten graduates who received a new sewing machine thanks to all of yo who generously support this ministry. Patience who lives in Masiphumelele, is an inspiration to me. She works hard and just wants to learn as much as she can. She always wanted to learn to sew and never had the opportunity until our class. "Wendy, " she wrote men " you have shown us Jesus with your love and generous ways." And really, that is all I want to do, show them just how much Jesus loves me. And you know, so often one thing leads to another. When you build confidence in one area, it spills over into another. Patience is busy making plans to run a Xhosa class for people like me who need to learn and I plan to do just that. Well it is time for another class to begin and I am happily anticipating the new students who will come to us. We plan to start in the next week and I ask that you pray for us as this class is the chance for these women to turn their lives around.
