Hey Friends...

 

Ellie and I leave tomrrow for to be in Nsoko for the week. Getting the 40 women there started sewing for Timbali Crafts has gone kind of slow, but we're planning on doing a four day "kick off" this week, in hopes that they'll be able to have some products ready to sell before Christmas. We'll be meeting Mon-Thurs to continue teaching the women to sew and to make the patch work table runners that were pictured in my last blog. I'm also praying (and hope you'll start praying too!) for some good times of ministry and relationship building with these precious women, who work so hard to serve their community by cooking at the 8 care points/feeding centers in the Nsoko area.

 

Nsoko is about 2.5 hrs away, so Ellie and I will be camping at a near by game park for the week, along with AIM's "Real Life" mission team that will also be in Nsoko this week. I LOVE camping, but haven't done it with Ellie before, so who knows what kind of adventures we'll have. :) Please pray Ellie sleeps well and enjoys the week! Nsoko is in the hottest area of Swaziland, and I heard the temp was 40C/104F there last week--yikes.  Pray for strength and energy--and maybe for a pleasant cool front to come through? :)

 

That's all for now...just wanted to send out a request for some prayer!

 

THANKS for lifting us up!

Julie & Ellie
