New Opportunities

Wider Opportunities
The World Cup is not the only exciting thing happening here in Cape Town. I am thrilled to share the news that an international housing developer who works with low income houses, is in the process of building houses in Masiphumelele and determined to do more, will offer the beneficiaries of those houses choices in several skills, among them sewing. And, yes, you guessed it, Evangeline Sewing Program fits the bill nicely. Starting in July, one week after our graduation, our sewing teachers will start another program for those women, entirely funded by this group. We were and are in the right place at the right time. This means that Namgamso, seen here and the other teachers get much needed extra income, and even more, a higher profile as leaders in their community. It means that more women will have skills to use for income, and the developer realizes this is to his and their benefit. My sister told me when I first set out for Cape Town that i had no idea what God would do . She was right. I continue to be amazed and delighted at the scope of our work here and who knows what is next. I am sustained by your love and support and the words of promise from Psalms 138 that God will fulfill His plans for my life and this ministry.
