Taza

Many of you may know I have dreamed and prayed for years that the Father would give me an opportunity to not only share the g0spel with women but also help them find ways to support themselves, possibly through sewing. As I write this I sit here completely AMAZED at what the Father has done over the last few months.

Thanks to the wonderful team the Father has brought to my city we have been working hard to get a sewing center started in our city. Our dream is to train women in marketable skills which will give them the opportunity to earn income and provide for their families. So many women in South Asia have little or no education and no means to provide for their children if they are widowed or for themselves if they never marry. As we train them in these skills we also want to give them hope. Taza means fresh in Hindi. We want to give them a chance at fresh start as well as show them there is freedom in Christ.

We are hoping to really get things going this spring but already have a few ideas for products to make and sell. Please check out some of the product ideas at tazagoods.blogspot.com and vote for your favorite. You can also leave any comments on the blog as well. We would LOVE and need your feedback.

Our first Taza sewing machine

One our MBB partners wife has shown interest in helping us and we are already starting to train her in making some of the products. Her name is Nila* and she has a precious spirit. She has not yet believed but we are continuing to ask the Father to reveal himself to her. Please lift her up with us!

Please be lifting up Taza. There are still many, many details we need to work out be we are trusting the Father to guide us each step of the way. Ask him to give us wisdom as we move forward and to use Taza for his glory among the nations.
