Off to Mozambique

I am very excited to have the opportunity to return to Mozambique and stay for six weeks. As many of you know, mission work is about relationships as well as performing tasks that empower.  The bond I share with the women in Chicuque began as the universal bond we share with all people regardless of where and how they live. Over the past 7 years, this bond has become a sharing of hearts and a future that has enriched the lives of people in both countries.  My task this time is completely in the area of economic development and most specifically assisting the women’s jewelry project begun in 2006 reach sustainability, independent from outside support other than the opportunity to purchase and enjoy the products they make.   We have named this extended project S.O.A.R. – Sustainable Opportunities And Resources. The aim will be to increase their sales opportunities and leadership and access to supplies so that they can be self-sustaining. I've started this blog to be able to keep everyone posted on news related to the trip and project S.O.A.R. 
I want to thank all of you who have supported this effort so far with your prayers, your ideas, the work of your hands, and your financial support.  We all share in this project
