Ladies of Kisumu and Buoye, Kenya are being very creative. By being alert to the resources God put in their path they began a jewelry crafts ministry. Recently a jewelry artisan taught a group of women from both churches how to make a variety of necklaces and bracelets.
The women began using seed pods and other natural materials found around where they live. Upon seeing the first selection of necklaces and bracelets made, a friend from the U.S. took some to a store in Texas. The House of Hope store manager reports, "the jewelry is very popular and we have sold out! We want to order more for delivery in January." The House of Hope store provides an outlet for widows and orphans to sell items in the U.S.
The craft ministry is growing rapidly as the trainers are now offering classes to members of both churches to help the adults and older children start their own jewelry businesses. Praise God for providing the beautiful seeds, pods and other beads required to make the jewelry. Watch for further developments as God blesses the people for their hard work.
