SEW WHAT???

It is important for us to be diligent and sure that we disburse donations received from others, ensuring that they are given to the people who can benefit from these items the most. Many people requested a sewing machine when they heard some were available but, can they sew? Do they need one to be able to support their family?

Senor Dupy Metilus is a tailor with 4 children who makes his living in Los Algodones. He received the first machine and in the future a new shop in the town square in villa Esperanza.

Wenchelle Jean, a teacher’s assistant in John Calvin Cristiano Colegio asked if her mom & sister could receive a machine also. Her mom helps feed their family of 4 children by sewing for others. Unfortunately her treadle machine broke recently and was unable to get it fixed. Last week John made a preliminary visit with her and today we were able to return to her home and bless her with a good, used sewing machine. She told us that she had been praying for 3 weeks (since her machine broke down) that the Lord would provide one for her. Today her prayers were answered. Gracias a Dios!
