Sewing Seeds

When I first thought of the work in El Salvador, of the building of the houses, and I saw for myself the hope that was being built in people's lives, on the strong foundation of Jesus Christ, I knew it was about more than just a safe house.  Seeds were being planted, watered and harvested.  Lives were changing - never to be the same again.

I Corinthians 3:6-9
 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.  For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Therefore the title Building Hope, Sewing Seeds.  Then came the final piece of this puzzle name that I came to love - there was a women's sewing team going to El Salvador, to teach over 50 women some projects to sew!  More details of this are on the Sewing trip page tab above.

What we are working on is trying to get  all of the women to have a Canadian woman as a sponsor.  What does sponsorship mean?  It is a one time financial commitment of $40 ($50 if you want a tax receipt), a photo of yourself that will go on the front of a card for the woman and inside you will be able to write a few things about yourself for her.  You will also receive a card back with a picture of your sponsored lady.  We covet your prayers for our team, but specifically for the woman you have sponsored.  The financial contribution goes towards a sewing basket with start up supplies for your lady and a bible.  The basket will contain such items as scissors, buttons, snaps, zippers, material, thread, measuring tape, pins, needles and more.  Lunch will also be served to the women each day during the week.

This is an opportunity for you to Sew a Seed into a woman's life, investing in her, her creativity, her desire to work to support her family.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please leave a message and I will contact you with the details.
