Hands that Sew

Just as a soccer ball may be the universal language of boys and men... sewing just may be the universal language for girls and women.

Last February a mission team from Grace Baptist blessed the women of Primera Iglesia with six sewing machines.  The women of Grace spent several days teaching the women of Primera Iglesia how to sew.

There were cultural differences and a language barrier to overcome but through the grace God gives to His children the ministry was a success.

It was a joy to see the fruits of the previous mission team's ministry.

   The sewing machines are stored at the church and used weekly when the women gather together and sew with one another.




Ingrid from Primera Iglesia teaches sewing classes at the church.

Erin shows Tony some of the decorations the women have made for their homes.

The woman who made this had only been shown how to sew one time.
