Phase 2 of Our Project
We want to start up Phase 2 of our project which will provide sewing machines to the orphanages and villages in Africa.
So far we've been blessed to be able to donate 4 machines, but we hope to add more and expand to our partners at Ark of Grace in Zambia.
Please check out our GoFundMe page and read the newest update and please—SHARE SHARE SHARE! These machines cost around $200 America each; not including fabric, thread, and other notions that are needed for sewing.
We will still continue to sew dresses here each month to send with the missionaries that go. Thank you so much for all that you do; and as always, keep our missionaries, church leaders, and sponsors in your prayers!

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." [Matthew 25:35-36]

Amanda: "worthy of love". Our Christ-inspired love made visible, that through a simple hand-made dress, a poor girl may come to know God's wondrous mercy.

[email protected] Please consider a donation to help fund Phases 2 and 3 of our mission! Our monthly sewing fellowships have been continuing for two and a half years now and counting. This is Phase 1 of the work of our hands to share the love of Christ through a simple little dress. We want a way to help needy girls beyond the reach of our missionary teams. We have given; now we need teach! I have established with pastors in many parts of that country to send the dresses directly to them for distribution.This is Phase 2. On my last mission trip I have discovered that there are many pastors who would like to see their own church ladies do exactly as we have: meet regularly to sew and fellowship together for the glory of God and the clothing of poor girls. This is Phase Three; the establishment of church-sponsored sewing centers. On my last trip, through a loving and generous donation by the Matthews family, the first such center has been started. A treadle sewing machine, a qualified teacher, thread, fabric, and sewing supplies (along with Bibles for Bible studies) were all provided by one donation of $300! |
