New Opportunities

Well life in the mission field has been pretty grim lately...I still have lots of ideas, just not too much is being executed.


I'm excited to announce that I will begin selling the Earrings for Haiti (and then some) at our local farmers market tomorrow morning!  So excited!


Now, a while back I told you something that I was really excited about.....I will tell you today!

The new 'fire burning' mentioned in THIS POST, I will finally share.

We met a young missionary family (through our church) living in Kenya.  When they delivered their presentation, I was excited to learn that they had recently started a 'Jewelry Ministry'!  How cool is THAT!!!

The women in this ministry (or program) - make their own beads out of clay from Kenya, make the necklaces and sell them.  The Kenny's (the missionary family) brought (I think) around 250 necklaces with them to sell.  If they sell all of these, the money raised will provide 10 women's annual income for the coming year!    I bought a few necklaces...but the more exciting news is that they gave us many of the single beads.  In return, I have told them I would make the necklaces and sell them for their ministry! 

Starting on June 12, I will have a table at our local Farmer's Market to sell both these necklaces and Jewelry for HAITI. 

My friend Dianne has been working hard at jewelry making, while I've be working hard at the school.  She has created several beautiful pieces, from necklaces, bracelets and even some rings.  They are beautiful.

I really looking forward to talking to customers 'face to face'.  Over the summer, I have booked 4 Saturdays to sell at the Farmer's Market.  I hope this will produce much income for these women in Kenya and much food for families in Haiti!
