Thank you Virginia WMU

Thank You Virginia Women

I spent this past weekend with a group of women with a heart for missions who also love to have a great time. One of the sponsors of this minsitry in Cape Town is the Woman's Missionary Union of Virginia. Not only do they shower me with love and prayer and encouragement, they put legs to thier commitment with the bags made by the women in our classes. They purchase these bags and sell them to women all over Virginia. Here you see the new Executive Director/Treasurer Laura McDaniel (l)and President Becky McKinney(r) with some of the bags and some aprons from our earliest students. Their delight in this ministry is something I treasure. Last year, one of their leaders, Merle Prince visited us and led a master class for the students. This brought good results. It uncovered a talented instructor in Paul who now works alongside Namgamso ,the principal teacher. The wome you help and I thank God for the Virginia WMU and for every one of our sponsors. I thank each of you also who put feet to your love as you make this work in Cape Town possible. We are facing some good changes and ask you to pray for us as we take the next steps to strengthen the classes and outreach to disadvantaged women and those who live with HIV and AIDS. Christmas is coming, tell your friends about the bags.
