Jewelry Sale Update
Greetings Our
Brother and Sisters in Christ!
Father Fabian
Hevi, SMA was here in Peoria Illinois, USA this weekend
(December 9-11) as part of a North American visit to raise
funds for his mission works in Embulbul and to provide
education on the needs in Kenya.
During his
visit we were able to deliver sixty copies of the
documentary we filmed at his mission in July of 2006. These
films will be distributed internationally to assist in
ongoing funding of the missions work in Embulbul. We remain
hopeful and ask for your prayers of support that this
documentary will provide a vehicle to enhance much needed
funding for his mission work.
During Father
Fabian’s visit to Peoria we were blessed to hold an African
Jewelry sale at Saint Anns Catholic Church. Members of the
Good Samaritan Group at Father Fabian’s mission produce the
jewelry. Father Fabian and concerned members of the Embulbul
community to bring victims of AIDS from the Embulbul village
out of isolation and stigmatization and into a loving,
Christian community formed the Good Samaritan Group a year
ago. Currently, there are sixty-two people with AIDS being
served by this group. In producing this jewelry as well as
knitted pullovers, the group gains self-esteem and a sense
of purpose as they work to support themselves.
The sale was
an overwhelming success. Over three hundred pieces of
jewelry were sold! We were able to raise enough money to
fund the Good Samaritan Group and it’s work for one month.
This money will be used to provide AIDS medication, testing,
education and food for victims of AIDS including children
orphaned by AIDS. Praise God!
If you are
looking for a place to provide some financial support, this
is a great opportunity to give.
