There was great excitement at the Centre in Maxixe as I arrived a week ago, with the first four sewing machines out of ten that we are bringing in, as one of the sustainable projects we are starting this year in Mozambique.
.
Several months ago, unknown to my self, some of the ladies in the church in Maxixe were busy praying that God would help them to create businesses for themselves, as they prayed, several of them felt God speaking to them about starting businesses with sewing machines!
.
Back in the UK I had been put in touch with a church in Nottingham with a vision to help people in third world countries start up their own business, helping them to come out of poverty through sustainable projects. They have agreed to supply the funds that we need to start up the projects that we are currently involved with!
.
After much thought and prayer, I called Armindo, and asked what he thought about starting a number of small businesses with sewing machines!
.
Months down the road, standing in the Centre in Maxixe, surrounded by a number of very thrilled ladies and their new machines, I know now why Armindo was so excited about my telephone suggestion. We had connected with the heart of God, and He had answered their prayers!!!
.
One of the ladies in the church has taken on the role of teaching the other ladies to sew. There is talk of us possibly making the school uniforms for the children at the local school!
.
Please pray for us all, that we manage to get the project well set up, and that we are able to make a difference in the lives of these people who have nothing. At present many of these ladies are widows with children are on our feeding programmes. Soon they will be able to feed themselves!
