Jambo Jam for Kondoa

Helen raises money for our Kondoa mission project by making jams, chutneys and marmalades which are for sale on the missions table in the foyer.  If you have fruit to spare contact Helen to see if she can use it to make some of her delicious preserves!

Post-Quilt Display News

10/9/2014

ForWell, the quilt display was great fun.  About 14 or 15 people came both days and together with the gifts of people who could not come, we raised about $500 to help fund the next mission trip to Kondoa.  I enjoyed showing the quilts and seeing other people's enjoyment of them.  I had not been able to complete the quilting of my own patchwork, but had it hung up from the door frame by trouser hangers (!) so its fulll beauty could be seen.

However, the news that my husband's mother had died came on the first day and overshadowed the quilt parties.  Sometimes an unforeseen seismic shift occurs in one's life and this was one of those days.  We wonder why God chose that particular day to take her home, but certainly are grateful that it did not happen while we were overseas.  Death never is convenient or welcome - it is of course, the last enemy that will be defeated.

So Ian and I fly out next week and will be taking contributions of embroidery thread for a specific project that the Kondao sewing class are going to do.  I will also take embroidery needles and small pairs of scissors. 

The other objects we will take are as many simple bottle openers as we can carry.  As you can see in the picture, if there are no bottle openers available, teeth are used.  When you need a drink and this is the safe liquid available...   Well, enough said.  We want to take as many as possible.

This will be my last post for a while (so what is new :-)  ) but Ian will be posting a blog to keep you able to track our time in Kondoa.
