Spring 2021 Prayer Update

He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from him.
1John 5:14 (GNT)

RWANDA

• This quarter, we have purchased more than 2 TONS of products from the artisans (not including the super-order)!  This is our largest shipment ever. Please ask for blessing for all the customers who have made this possible.

ARTISANS

• Please pray for the families of two new weaving partners from the super-order.  One weaver has passed away and another lost her child.  We mourn with them.
