Today I had the honor to join and volunteer with the Women on Mission group! These ladies represent 2 Baptist churches in our area and work hard with gifts God has given them, to be able to sew!
Me and the amazing 5 ladies of this group packed 354 pkgs of washable, reusable sanitary pads and underwear along with 31 pillow case dresses. Each package had 4 pads and 3 underwear for the Samaritan purse shoeboxes. All of these (except the underwear, of course) were hand sewn by these ladies!
I am thrilled to be invited to be a part of their group today and be a blessing on the kids that will receive these gifts in their shoeboxes. Total completed by these ladies are 6,262 reusable pads for Africa & Honduras mission teams, Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Not everyone is able or can go on mission trips, but these ladies lead by example to show us, and me, that you do not have to go somewhere. Your mission is your gift God gave you and how you use it, will be your mission.
What a blessing today was for me! And the fellowship with these ladies is something that I am glad I didn't miss out on. The small things you do, will be a blessing for others, whether directly or indirectly.
Acts 1:8; "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 13:47; "For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “ ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
Romans 10: 13-14; for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? "
Blessings to you all,
