One of the most challenging dilemmas for the women of India is the ability to make a living. It is extremely difficult at best. One of the best ways for a woman to earn decent wages is to be a seamstress. To address this challenge we have created we opened a Tailoring Institute to train women in tailoring, a trade to make income for their family. We provide free sewing machines to the ladies upon completion of their training. These machines are non-electric as most of the homes here do not have electricity and cost about $100 dollars US.
Equipped with the knowledge of sewing and sent forth into the harvest field with a sewing machine enables a young lady to evangelize and make a living, or make additional household income as a pastor’s wife.
Your donation of a sewing machine will enable a young Christian lady to continue in the wonderful ministry initiated by Dorcas in the Book of Acts.
Acts 9:39
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
