Homesick

God's word reminds us that this world is not our home. Do you ever feel like a stranger...like an alien...like you're not sure where to park for a while? It's really a GOOD thing. I don't want to be settled/complacent. But why is it so hard sometimes? And how on earth do you explain it to someone?!! Maybe my blog will help you understand. I hope you enjoy.

Shopping with a purpose

Many of the women we teach in Soweto are former brew makers. Once they got saved, they decided to give up brew. Now they have no income. They have recently begun to make beads and then necklaces to earn money. They are asking us to help them "get a market". I don't know how to go about finding a place for them to sell, but I did know some folks this week who were all too happy to invest in their new business. I took the BDBCers and went shopping for some beads. Let me just say that they bought enough to feed quite a few families this month. When I come home in LESS THAN THREE MONTHS, expect some beads! Posted by Picasa
