Sewing Class

Norma

Norma (Sewing Teacher works with three others)

   

Norma is a very dedicated individual. Even though she has a disability she walked several miles to class even though we had no space for her. Eventually we were able to accommodate her and she has been head of the sewing class ever since.

 
Early on it became apparent that there were many single women in desperate need of learning a skill so that they could support themselves and their children - a sewing school which includes Bible studies is now meeting this need. Click on the pictures below for a larger view. 

JANUARY 2009 UPDATE: SEWING CLASSES GRADUATE DURING CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE GATHERING HEARTS MISSION CENTER

What a sweet blessing it was to see these sewing students graduate, after being with us for several years.  Some of them wanted to continue attending classes and would rather not graduate, but in order to accommodate new students, we needed to have a graduation.  We will always stay in contact with them and would like to begin women's ministry where they could continue Bible studies.  December 20th eight graduated!  One was the daughter of Otilia, one of our very first students when we were meeting back in the jungle.

This graduation was special in that the workers did all the planning and preparation for  for the graduation. They prepared a meal for all attending and Nelson, the computer teacher, printed programs.  Another special moment was the students presenting a plaque to the Kuney Family noting the students' appreciation for the ministry.  This is really to all of you who support this ministry helping the people of Honduras accomplish a skill to support themselves and teach them the ways of Christ.  Thank you to all.
