Well, this is certainly new to me. I have decided to journal a mission trip to Cape Town, South Africa by "blogging"! Who would have ever thunk it! First off, I never "journal" anything. In fact, I pretty much avoid writing of all kind. I'd rather just tell it, whatever "it" is. Secondly, I don't consider myself computer savvy. But here I am, blogging and figuring out how to do it all by myself.
I will attempt to post daily while in Cape Town and if I'm lucky, I'll figure out how to post pictures and include them as well. I should have access to my friend's computer while there.
Anyway, things are coming into place for the trip. I leave on Oct.9 and will return Oct.25. It is the end of winter and Wendy tells me the whales are in the bay. I hope they will be there when I arrive. I've never seen whales "in the wild", only at SeaWorld.
I will be working with Wendy in Cape Town on a sewing project. She has students who graduate in Nov. that have been making purses to support themselves. These are women who come to the Living Hope center as HIV/Aids patients. I will be teaching advanced cutting/sewing techniques, working with them to make their products more finished and professional in quality/appearance, and working with a couple of the students on "how to teach" as they plan to become instructors for new classes. The ministry hopes to begin a small factory for these women and expand their designs and products.. I will work with Wendy and their leadership in planning for that and in marketing strategy.
I covet your prayer support as I go.

Cape Town Seamstress,
Thank you for allowing us to travel with you through your journal! It will be an amazing adventure for you as you teach and build relationships, and for us at home who are holding the ropes in prayer for you.
Godspeed,
Edith
Thank you so much for your link. I have shared your post during "Circle Time" here at Grace Network and have made copies of your email for the bulletin boards. We will be thinking about you and praying for you as you prepare to go and while you're gone. Love, Pam
Way to go, Sis!
I don't even know what blog means, but Joe and I will pray for you daily.
Love, Martha
