We continue to be amazed by how God works through challenging times. Here in Peru, we still have fairly stringent Covid masking and gathering restrictions, even almost two and a half years later. Thankfully, we serve a mighty God and are encouraged by all that He accomplishes while the circumstances are challenging or discouraging.
Our wonderful partner organization Sewing with a Mission (SWAM), is trying to teach local women how to improve their sewing skills for personal use or for their own small businesses. They are planning to come teach in Peru again in early 2023. In the meantime, SWAM would like to start empowering local women to run these kinds of workshops themselves. They have invited a small group of ladies who have demonstrated a willingness to teach and talent in sewing to attend a focused training in August on how to host workshops. We are helping organize this training, and the SWAM team has asked that some of this time be used for our Biblical business and finances training as well, which will be an exciting extension of what we can offer.
