to provide fair employment opportunities for people in these villages. This creates an opportunity to work alongside, build relationships, and reach out to people all over Thailand. Third, our desire is to help the ministry become more sustainable, and so we're working to create new products and find more stores to partner with around the world. Sustainability will allow for us to employ and support more women and children in our program. Our hope and prayer is that more people will have the opportunity to hear the gospel here! We had a great trip meeting and building connections with the local people of Lamphun. The people of Thailand make such beautiful things! We are excited of what's to come! We are currently working with the students here to create new products with these fabrics! We are also setting up a jewelry workshop and learning how to make metal jewelry (you can learn so much online these days!) We're really excited to for this new business at SC and to teach and work alongside these women. Working alongside the students here is such a great way to build relationships and have intentional conversations.
One thing for sure is that the Lord has taken us out of our comfort zone and stretched us this year. We've seen in tangible ways how He uses our weaknesses for His glory and how He equips us even when we're inadequate. We're so thankful for each one of you! Thank you for supporting, praying, and reaching out!
Also, check out our last two blogs- "The New Has Come" and "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told!" Our home church sent these out last month, and we wanted to share them with you all as well! Currie & Mary Blake
